Summary
Companies like Samsung are posting ads on TikTok that appear to be made with generative AI (AI systems that create images or videos from text descriptions), but they're not adding the required AI disclosure labels that TikTok's advertising policies demand. This means users can't easily tell whether the ads they see are AI-generated or made by humans, even though the companies creating them know the truth.
