Pennsylvania Enacts AI Disclosure Law for Deceptive Ads
Pennsylvania now requires a disclosure label on ads that use AI to create a false impression about a product or service.

Pennsylvania has enacted a new law requiring disclosures on advertising that uses artificial intelligence to create a false impression about goods or services. The rule applies when AI-generated or AI-modified content misrepresents what is being offered, making it necessary for marketing and creative teams to identify such material before it reaches the public.
For professionals in marketing, PR, sales, and legal roles, the law introduces a practical burden around asset provenance. Teams will need clear records of how creative assets were produced and review workflows capable of supporting disclosure decisions at scale. Without those systems, determining whether a particular piece of content triggers the requirement becomes difficult.
The change affects writers, designers, and communicators across government, education, and human resources as well, wherever promotional content is produced. The focus is on transparency when synthetic media alters consumer perception, not on banning AI tools outright. Organizations must now build the internal checks to flag deceptive impressions and apply the necessary labels.
