Can an ad get rejected for being AI-made?

Not for being AI-made on its own. Ads get rejected for what they show or claim, and ad platforms apply extra rules to synthetic content in sensitive categories. Google requires election ads to disclose synthetic content that shows people saying or doing things they did not.

What this means for marketers

Political and other sensitive categories carry required disclosures, so read the policy for the category you are buying in. Beyond the rule, worth considering whether the ad only works because viewers think it is real footage.
