This law requires all political advertisements (digital, broadcast, print) to clearly disclose if they contain images, audio, or video substantially generated or altered by Artificial Intelligence. This ensures citizens can distinguish between authentic and synthetic media, promoting transparency in the electoral process. Failure to comply results in significant financial penalties up to $50,000.
