Google will now tell you if an ad was made with AI
Google has introduced a new label in its 'My Ad Center' to disclose when advertisements have been created or edited using generative AI. While Google-generated ads will be labeled automatically, advertisers using third-party tools must apply the labels manually.
Why it matters
This move reflects increasing industry pressure for transparency in AI-generated content to combat misinformation and deepfakes.
You can see if ads on Google Search, Google Discover, and YouTube were made or edited using AI from a new section in Google’s “My Ad Center,” as reported earlier by TechCrunch. The update, announced on Thursday, adds a “created or edited with AI” label under the “how this ad was made” tab. Users can find it by tapping the three dots or info button on ads, which pulls up the same panel where you can also block or report ads.
