The U.S. Congress is considering new rules to address the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in elections.
The proposed rules would require campaigns and political parties to disclose when they use AI to target voters or spread messages online.
The rules would also ban the use of deepfakes, AI-generated videos that can be used to spread misinformation or impersonate candidates.
Supporters of the rules say they are needed to protect the integrity of elections and prevent foreign interference.
Opponents say the rules are too restrictive and would stifle free speech.
Eighteen states have passed laws to limit deepfakes in elections, according to Public Citizen’s tracker. Weissman said the laws are no substitute for federal law but indicate an appetite for action.
