INE's non-binding guidelines for newscasts in the 2026-2027 federal election (INE/CG481/2026) ask them to tell audiences when AI makes realistic content.

Rules for specific sectors

Political ads and campaigns

INE child-protection guidelines, No. 16 (INE/CG527/2026): In force since 7 October 2026. Label election material in which AI or digital tools made or edited a minor's image or voice; audible on audio.

In the API

Send markets=mx on each call to POST /v1/mark: a call that lacks what Mexico's rules need is refused before anything is counted, and each mark gets a receipt of what it carries for each law.

What a mark for Mexico carries, by kind of file
File	Made with AI	A deep fake (`deepfake=true`)
Picture	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Clip	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Song	Watermark and Content Credentials	Refused for now: a song can't carry a visible label, and spoken notices for deep fakes aren't available yet: leave "deepfake" off for songs.
