"“I have had a number of conversation[s] with the AI community about the issue generally and about my bill to require disclosure of the use of AI in political ads,” he said. AI-generated ads and videos have begun to proliferate in federal, state and even local elections across the country."
Satirical and misleading political ads in Kentucky’s 4th district used AI-generated content to accuse Rep. Thomas Massie of a “throuple” with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, including fake videos of them dining, holding hands, and checking into a hotel. Another ad used AI to depict Massie rival Ed Gallrein fleeing a Trump rally, changing voter registration, and abandoning President Trump in a WWII-style foxhole, without apparent disclosure. Rep. Joe Morelle, chair of the House Administration Committee, said regulating AI in campaigns will be a priority and that he has discussed an effort requiring disclosure of AI use in political ads. AI deepfakes have appeared in federal, state, and local races, including Republican and some Democratic uses.
