Australia: Australian Communications and Media Authority adopted Commercial Radio Code of Practice including AI transparency requirement

On 10 February 2026, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) registered updated rules for commercial radio broadcasters that include new requirements for disclosing artificial intelligence use. Where a regularly scheduled program or news program is hosted by a synthetic voice generated by artificial intelligence, licensees must provide appropriate transparency to audiences, including during a program episode, on relevant websites or social media channels, or by other appropriate means. The obligation applies only to AI-generated hosting and does not extend to other content such as weather, traffic, music, or advertisements.
