New regulations requiring political campaigns to label AI-generated or AI-manipulated content took effect Sunday, the Central Elections Committee announced. The rules, issued by Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg, require that labels cover at least 5% of content height for print or images, appear throughout video, and be played at the beginning and end of audio.
Israel's new regulations requiring AI-generated election content to be labeled took effect Sunday, July 26, the Central Elections Committee announced. The law, initiated by the committee and issued by Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg, applies to all campaign material published from Sunday onward.
The rules mandate that any election propaganda created or edited using artificial intelligence must carry a special disclosure label. For printed materials or images, the label must cover at least 5% of the content's height. For video, it must appear throughout the entire duration. For audio content, the label must be stated at the beginning and end.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the regulations were drafted by the Central Elections Committee and approved by the Knesset Constitution Committee in July. The law aims to prevent voter deception ahead of the upcoming election.
