Google to label AI-made ads across its platforms

Google will add a "created or edited with AI" label to ads on Search, Discover, and YouTube, viewable via the "My Ad Center" panel. The label applies automatically to ads made with Google's own generative AI tools; ads made elsewhere need manual labeling.

Why it matters: Adds transparency for AI-generated advertising as scrutiny of synthetic content grows.
