Google to Require Politicians , to Disclose AI Use in Election Ads.
Beginning in November, all political advertisements on Google that use artificial intelligence and synthetic content must inform the viewer that such tools have been utilized. .
The new rule also applies to
YouTube ads, Politico reports. .
Verified advertisers must prominently reveal whether
their ads consist of "synthetic content that inauthentically
depicts real or realistic-looking people or events.".

Political ads that don't comply will be
blocked from running and removed.
The AI disclosure requirement is the first of its kind for a tech company, Politico reports. .
However, if AI was only using for editing, such as resizing or cropping, disclosure is not required.
Politicians have already been using AI to their advantage approaching the 2024 election cycle.
For example, over the summer, a PAC supporting
Ron DeSantis' White House bid generated an AI version of Donald Trump's voice and posted the video to YouTube. .

Adam Driver Criticizes Netflix and Amazon , Amid Ongoing Hollywood Strike.
Driver, who stars in 'Ferrari,' made his
comments during a press conference at the
Venice Film Festival on Aug. 30, CNN reports. .
Why is it that a smaller distribution company like Neon and STX International (distributors for 'Ferrari') can meet the dream demands of what SAG is asking for – this is pre-negotiations – the dream version of SAG’s wish list, but a
big company like Netflix and Amazon can’t, Adam Driver, via statement.
Driver is one of the few actors attending the film festival under "interim agreement waivers with SAG-AFTRA for independent projects," CNN reports. .
Otherwise, guild members are prohibited from promoting projects that are affiliated with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), per strike guidelines. .
Every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has agreed to these terms – the interim agreement – it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the people that they collaborate
with, and the others are not, Adam Driver, via statement.
I’m very happy to be here to support this movie. I'm very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that’s not part of the AMPTP and to promote the SAG leadership directive, which is an effective tactic –
which is the interim agreement, Adam Driver, via statement.
SAG-AFTRA went on strike in July.
The Writers Guild of America went on strike in May.
Both groups are seeking to
negotiate better pay and protection from
AI's encroachment into their industry.

The two Baltic nations of Estonia and Latvia have signed an agreement with Germany to purchase a medium-range air defense missile system that opens the way for the two nations to join a common air defense system proposed by Germany last year. Estonia and Latvia had previously signed letters of intent to joint the ‘Sky Shield Initiative’, a common air defense system proposed by Germany in 2022 in the wake of the Russian war against Ukraine. The project currently includes 16 NATO member states, NATO invitee Sweden, as well as the neutral states Austria and Switzerland.
