Google will now indicate when advertisements appearing on Google Search, YouTube, and Google Discover have been created or edited using artificial intelligence. The update, rolled out through the company’s “My Ad Center,” aims to provide users with greater transparency regarding the origin of ad content.
The feature automatically flags ads utilizing Google's AI tools within My Ad Center. This allows individuals to see if an advertisement was wholly generated by AI or if AI was used in its creation process. No details were provided on how extensively AI may have been employed, nor what types of AI tools are being identified.
The move comes as concerns grow regarding the potential for AI-generated content to mislead consumers and blur the lines between authentic and synthetic media. While the announcement does not detail any specific instances that prompted this change, it aligns with broader industry discussions about responsible AI development and disclosure.
Currently, there is no indication of how Google will handle ads created using third-party AI tools, or if those ads will also be subject to labeling. The company has not specified whether the labels will appear directly on the ads themselves, or only within My Ad Center.
We don't rate truth. We strip the spin and show you which perspectives covered the story. You decide.
