FCC Unveils First Step in AI Transparency Effort for AI Content in Political Ads
Summary
On May 22, 2024, the FCC announced a proposal to look into whether the FCC should require disclosure of AI-generated content in political ads on radio and TV. If the proposal is adopted, the FCC would issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to initiate proceedings that aim to increase transparency in political ads. The proposal would not prohibit AI-generated content in political ads, but rather require that the content be disclosed to the public.
