## Summary

More than $187 million has been spent on nearly 300 AI-generated or enhanced ads in the midterm cycle, according to a Wesleyan Media Project analysis released last week. Over 90% of that spending came from Republican candidates, parties or groups, and most of the ads lack disclosures. YouTube, Google, X and Meta point to their ad labeling and disclosure rules, while no comprehensive federal law governs AI in political ads.
