Google has introduced an AI disclosure feature for advertisers, indicating if their ads were generated with AI tools.

For developers and marketers, this means clearer guidelines around ad creation and potential legal implications in different markets. The feature will automatically enable disclosures when using Google's generative AI advertising tools but requires manual indication for ads created elsewhere.
