FCC Proposes Disclosure for AI-Generated Content in Political Ads
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has put forth a proposal requiring that AI-generated content in political ads must be disclosed but not banned. Chairman Jessica Rosenwerssel presented the official proposal outlining the need for disclosure in political ads to alert viewers to the presence of AI-generated content. Under this framework, both candidate and issue ads must include an on-air and filed disclosure, aiming to inform viewers about the use of AI-generated material. This initiative seeks to regulate content on cable operators, satellite TV, and radio providers, with the goal of enhancing transparency in political advertising.
