A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.
In force 8 months, effective 1 January 2026.
An AI transparency rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- Disclose, clearly and conspicuously, that an image, video, or audio recording has been manipulated whenever a paid communication supporting or opposing a candidate or party, or soliciting campaign contributions, includes synthetic media.
- For video, keep the disclosure visible for the entire duration; for audio, read it clearly at the start, at the end, and at least every two minutes if the audio runs longer than two minutes.
- A depicted candidate may sue for an injunction or other equitable relief if a non-disclosing communication about them runs; mere carriage by a streaming, cloud, internet or broadcast service, or use as satire or parody, does not create liability under this section.

What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A paid communication made in support of or opposition to a candidate, group of candidates or political party, or that solicits campaign contributions, must carry a clear and conspicuous disclosure reading "This (image/video/audio) has been manipulated" whenever it includes synthetic media, meaning an image, audio or video recording intentionally manipulated using generative adversarial network techniques, artificial intelligence or generative AI to realistically but falsely depict a person's appearance, speech or conduct.
A video disclosure must run for the entire video; an audio disclosure must be read clearly at the start, at the end, and, for audio longer than two minutes, at intervals of no more than two minutes.
A depicted candidate whose likeness appears in a non-disclosing communication may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in district court against whoever made or paid for it; the section does not impose liability on a streaming, interactive computer, cloud or internet service provider, a broadcaster or cable or satellite operator, a programmer or producer of broadcast content, or a publisher of synthetic media as satire or parody.
