A new law initiated by the Central Elections Committee takes effect Sunday, requiring that any election propaganda created or edited using artificial intelligence carry a special label. For print or images, the label must cover at least 5% of the content height; for video, it must appear throughout the entire duration; for audio, at the beginning and end, N12's Dafna Liel reported.
The law, initiated by the Central Elections Committee and advanced through the legislative process, takes effect today, Sunday, July 26. The requirement mandates clear labeling of AI-generated or AI-edited campaign materials, with specific rules for print, video, and audio formats. The Central Elections Committee drafted the bill earlier this year, and it was debated in the Knesset Constitution Committee before passing final readings, as The Zioneer previously reported. The measure is part of broader efforts to regulate AI use in elections, a growing global concern. No election date has been set yet, but the law is now in force ahead of the next general election.
