## Key points

- Pennsylvania now requires disclosures on many AI-generated adverts.
- The rules apply to image, video, audio and text ads.
- Broad exemptions and unclear terms leave questions about enforcement.

## Summary

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has signed a law requiring labels on adverts significantly generated or modified by artificial intelligence. The state is among the first to mandate such disclosures, aiming to make AI use in advertising more apparent to consumers.

The requirement covers still images, video, audio and text, and applies to ads wherever they were made if they are expected to run in Pennsylvania. Labels must use the same format as the advert. The law exempts parody, satire, commentary, criticism and evidently fictional material, while terms such as “significantly modified” and “false consumer perception” remain open to interpretation.
