Congress Unlikely to Act on AI Threat to Elections

“Congress appears unlikely to pass any of the laws it has been promising to safeguard this year’s election from the threat of artificial intelligence,” Politico reports.

“With experts warning about threats to democracy from AI deepfakes that mislead voters, lawmakers said they had to act — and they introduced multiple bills this year that could have banned deepfakes in elections and mandated clear labels on AI-generated content. Despite the appetite for laws and some bipartisan support, those efforts are foundering.”
