Google shifts AI ad liability to advertisers; EDPB restricts data scraping

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

Google is shifting the liability for AI-generated ad content entirely onto advertisers, stating that neither automatic nor custom labels guarantee legal compliance. This move comes as Google implements mandatory AI ad labels across its five platforms, with these labels being non-removable. Separately, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued guidance blocking AI firms from using consent as a basis for data scraping, establishing a three-condition legitimate interest test for such activities. AI

IMPACT Advertisers must now bear full responsibility for AI-generated ad compliance, while AI firms face stricter data scraping regulations.

RANK_REASON The cluster discusses significant policy shifts from major tech players (Google) and regulatory bodies (EDPB) impacting AI usage and data handling.
