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, according to the committee.
A new law mandating that election propaganda created or edited using artificial intelligence carry a special label took effect Sunday, the Central Elections Committee announced. The law, initiated by the committee, was passed by the Knesset and signed into law, with the committee overseeing its implementation. The labeling requirements are specific: for print or image ads, the label must cover at least 5% of the content height; for video ads, the label must appear throughout the entire duration; for audio ads, the label must be read at the beginning and end. The legislation has been in the works for months. The Central Elections Committee first published a draft bill on June 10, as The Zioneer reported. The Knesset Constitution Committee debated the amendments on June 22, and approved the final bill for second and third readings on July 15. The law is part of a broader set of electoral reforms, including special voting arrangements for evacuees and a fee for petitions to the committee chairman. The law aims to ensure transparency and prevent AI-generated disinformation in the upcoming elections.
