Google has updated its advertising policies to require a clear label whenever an ad contains content generated by artificial intelligence. The new rule applies to all ad formats across its platforms, including search, display, and video. Advertisers must add a disclosure indicating that AI was used to create the text, image, or video, and the label must be visible to users before they engage with the ad.
The change is part of Google's broader effort to increase transparency around AI‑generated media and to address concerns about misleading or deceptive content. The company says the policy will help users understand the origin of the material they see and will be enforced through automated detection tools and manual review.
Google will give advertisers a transition period to update existing campaigns, after which non‑compliant ads may be disapproved or removed. The policy aligns with emerging regulatory discussions in several jurisdictions about labeling AI‑generated content.
