Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act
The Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act is bipartisan legislation introduced in September 2023 to prohibit the use of AI to generate deceptive content that falsely depicts federal candidates to influence elections. The bill aims to combat AI-generated robocalls and deepfakes that mislead voters and impersonate public figures. It addresses the growing threat of AI voice cloning scams and election disinformation. Senator Amy Klobuchar has been a leading advocate for this legislation and related efforts to protect Americans from fraudulent AI technologies.
