Google was the first big tech company to say it would impose new labels on deceptive AI-generated political advertisements that could fake a candidate's voice or actions.
The pressure on the social media companies comes as both lawmakers are helping to lead a charge to regulate AI-generated political ads.
Google has already said that starting in mid-November it will require a clear disclaimer on any AI-generated election ads that alter people or events on YouTube and other Google products.
This policy applies both in the U.S. and in other countries where the company verifies election ads.
Facebook and Instagram parent Meta doesn’t have a rule specific to AI-generated political ads but has a policy restricting “faked, manipulated or transformed” audio and imagery used for misinformation.
