It mandates that political advertisements that incorporate AI-generated audio or video include the disclaimer "Contains content generated by AI", and violators will face fines.

Requiring disclaimers on AI-generated content enables voters to make informed decisions regarding the political advertisements they receive. |
| Which agency regulates the use of AI in your jurisdiction? | In Wisconsin, the state's lawmakers pass legislation that governs the use of artificial intelligence, and the State of Wisconsin Ethics Commission promulgates regulations implementing that legislation. |
