The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has advanced a rule requiring the disclosure of artificial intelligence (AI) use in political advertisements. This new regulation aims to increase transparency and ensure that voters are aware when AI-generated content is used in political campaigns. The rule is expected to have significant implications for the upcoming election, as it addresses concerns about the potential misuse of AI in influencing voter behavior. The FCC's proposal is part of a broader effort to regulate AI in various sectors, including social media advertising. This is the first federal rule specifically targeting AI-created political ads.
