"Combatting AI-Generated Election Misinformation"

The use of AI-generated deepfakes to spread false information in elections has raised concerns among policymakers, tech companies, and governments. Recent incidents, such as a faked robocall purporting to be from President Biden, have highlighted the potential impact of AI on the electoral process. Lawmakers in 27 states have introduced bills to regulate deepfakes in elections, focusing on transparency and potential bans within a certain window before an election. Tech companies like Meta, YouTube, and TikTok are also taking steps to require disclosure of AI-generated content. However, concerns remain about the effectiveness of these measures in stopping determined bad actors from using AI for electoral disinformation.
