New York — disclosure required for AI 'synthetic performers' in ads

New York's Synthetic Performer Disclosure Law (S.8420-A / A.8887-B), signed 11 Dec 2025 and effective 9 June 2026, requires a conspicuous disclosure when an advertisement contains a 'synthetic performer' — a digitally created asset made with generative AI meant to look like a human who is not an identifiable real person. Penalties: $1,000 for a first violation, $5,000 thereafter. Exemptions: expressive works (film/TV/games) where consistent with the underlying work, audio-only ads, and AI used solely for translation.

X may label or limit deceptive synthetic & manipulated media

X's Synthetic and Manipulated Media policy targets media that is deceptively altered/fabricated and likely to cause harm. X may add labels, reduce visibility, or remove it; Community Notes often add context. There is no universal upload toggle, so proactive in-post disclosure is the safe practice.

Suggested label

This media was generated or significantly edited with AI.
