Adults & Professionals · Ethics & Society · ~7 min read
The premise
FTC has been actively enforcing creator disclosure rules; AI is a cheap pre-flight check that catches the obvious misses.
What AI does well here
- Flag missing #ad and partner tags
- Surface disclosures buried below the fold
- Suggest placement that meets FTC clear-and-conspicuous standard
- Audit prior posts in bulk
What AI cannot do
- Decide whether something is technically a sponsored relationship
- Replace counsel for a specific FTC inquiry
