Pennsylvania requires AI labels on ads whose synthetic content gives consumers a false perception of what is sold, from 21 December

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro approved Senate Bill 806, the Artificial Intelligence Deceptive Advertising Act, on 22 October as Act 99 of 2026. The act bars advertisers from using AI-generated or significantly AI-modified content in a way that gives consumers a false perception of the nature, origin or authenticity of what is advertised, unless the ad carries a clear AI disclosure. It takes effect after 60 days, on 21 December, with civil fines of up to $3,000.

Fifth Circuit vacates Mississippi DEI injunction and reassigns the case after AI-linked errors in the judge's orders

A US federal appeals court on 22 October vacated a preliminary injunction against Mississippi's 2025 law on diversity programmes in public education and ordered the case reassigned to a different district judge. The Fifth Circuit panel said Judge Henry Wingate's orders contained invented parties, false quotations of the law and a case that does not exist; he had said a law clerk used AI in drafting.
