Kelley Drye & Warren LLP’s Post

Partner John Villafranco spoke to a packed house today at the BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division (NAD) 2024 Annual Conference. Alongside industry colleague Mary Engle, Executive Vice President, Policy, BBB National Programs, John explored critical questions on how advertisers should respond when Federal Trade Commission guidance or proposed rules are treated like established law. This insightful session, Raising the Bar: When Guidance and Proposed Rules Set Standards That May Go Beyond Established Law, addressed the balance between FTC support for industry self-regulation and ensuring claims are not deceptive. It was a privilege for John to share his insights with such an engaged audience of industry leaders and policymakers.

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗔𝗗 𝗜𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝘆   In a recent review by the National Advertising Division (NAD), questions were raised about Google’s video showcasing the capabilities of its Gemini AI model. While the video wowed viewers with Gemini’s impressive abilities—such as identifying hand-drawn images and sleight-of-hand tricks—some commentators felt that the video may have exaggerated these capabilities. Gonzalo Mon covers this development in his latest blog post, outlining NAD's inquiry into the accuracy of the video and Google’s decision to unlist the standalone video. This case serves as a timely reminder for companies: when showcasing product demos, be transparent about enhancements or edits to avoid misleading consumers.
