The Senate Rules Committee passed three bills aiming to safeguard elections from deception by artificial intelligence. The bills include plans to address AI disinformation, cybersecurity risks, and potential impacts on election administration.
The bills passed mark a proactive federal-level response to the growing concerns of AI influence in elections, following individual state initiatives. States like 14 already have regulations on AI content labeling.
The most supported bill, the Preparing Election Administrators for AI Act, focuses on creating a comprehensive report on AI risks for election offices. It also requires a report on how AI could impact the 2024 elections.
Other approved bills include the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act, targeting federal candidate deepfakes in specific scenarios, and the AI Transparency in Elections Act. The former bans certain deepfake uses, with bipartisan sponsorship, and the latter aims for transparency in AI use during elections.
