Google Introduces Feature for AI-Indicated Advertisements
View original sourceGoogle is introducing a new feature to help users identify when an ad has been created using AI technology. Key Details:
- AI-generated ads can make advertising more efficient but can also mislead consumers if they are not aware the images are synthetic.
- Google has required election ads to disclose AI use but is now extending this to other ads through the 'My Ad Center' panel available globally.
- Users can access this by clicking the three-dot menu or the info icon on ads viewed on Google Search, YouTube, and Google Discover.
- Advertisers using Google’s generative AI tools will have this disclosure automatically enabled.
- For ads created outside Google's ecosystem, advertisers must indicate AI involvement, as Google will not verify this independently, though local laws may enforce labeling.
