New York has implemented a state law requiring advertisements that use AI-generated people instead of human actors to clearly disclose that they are “synthetic performers.” The requirement applies to ads featuring artificial intelligence–generated individuals presented in place of performers. The law was signed in December by Gov. Kathy Hochul and takes effect on Tuesday, according to multiple outlets. Hochul’s office describes it as a “first-in-the-nation” measure. Creators and advertisers are expected to comply by including the required label in their advertising materials when AI-generated people are used. Outlets also report that noncompliance can lead to penalties, with fines highlighted as a key enforcement concern. The law focuses on disclosure in advertising rather than banning the use of AI-generated people. Coverage across the sources is consistent on the main elements: New York’s new disclosure requirement, the specific wording (“synthetic performer”), the timing of the law’s implementation, and the potential for steep fines for violations.
