Ads created or modified with Google's generative AI tools automatically get a disclosure in the My Ad Center panel, and advertisers using third-party AI tools can add the disclosure themselves; labels may appear on the ad itself where local rules require.
PPC News Feed later reported the disclosures appearing in the local map pack (August 2026). Existing policies on misleading content are unchanged.
