Policymakers are urged to update state election laws to combat the spread of materially deceptive media, including deepfakes, in political campaigns. Bipartisan bills are proposed to regulate the use of AI in elections and federal services to prevent disinformation and misleading content. The misuse of AI, such as fake audio and synthetic images, is highlighted as a growing concern that requires immediate action from policymakers and organizations.
The growth of AI has extraordinary potential for our society—but it also poses significant threats we must take seriously. I joined the American Society for AI to discuss my work in Congress to combat abuse of AI, including deepfake pornography and misleading election content. https://t.co/qifngCTwOW
Propagandistic uses of #GenAI are already being deployed: fake audio of politicians, synthetic images, and political consultants are using #AI to segment and sharpen their messages. Policymakers and others working to combat these adverse uses must act now. https://t.co/Tcv7aiu0dn https://t.co/pFSJf5YOMZ
AI is already being used to generate viral misleading content, spread disinformation, and deceive voters. This is a hair on fire moment. That’s why I’m working across the aisle to pass my bipartisan bills to take on the use of AI in our elections. https://t.co/L2vfHjp4yq
Artificial intelligence could dramatically improve how the federal government delivers services to Americans, but it must be deployed responsibly. My bipartisan bill would set standards for federal use of AI & send a strong message about how this tech should be developed. https://t.co/TInAU98aaQ
How should policymakers address #AI's role in #election #deepfakes? Policymakers should update state election laws to make it unlawful for campaigns & other political organizations to knowingly distribute materially deceptive media. More on this 👉 https://t.co/NmhclnZcE3 https://t.co/aNqOsOZwKu
