The brief

Amazon has issued instructions to its sellers requiring the disclosure of AI-generated imagery. This shift follows the enactment of a new law in New York, which Governor Kathy Hochul has described as a first-in-the-nation mandate for regulating synthetic performers and content.

Coverage from outlets including CNBC, The Times of India, and GuruFocus notes that the regulatory landscape is shifting for advertisers. According to PPC Land and Law.com, non-compliance with synthetic content labeling laws could result in significant financial penalties, including fines of $5,000 in New York and potential 3% penalties for EU-based violations.

Future developments hinge on how effectively Amazon enforces these disclosure requirements across its global marketplace. It remains to be seen how the specific provisions of the New York 'Synthetic Performer' law will impact broader advertiser conduct and platform policy adjustments in other jurisdictions.
