The federal #government is facing a dwindling window to #regulate the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in campaigns before the #2024election. The #FCC chair announced a plan last month to require #politicians to disclose #AI use in TV & radio #ads. But the prop is facing opposition from a #FEC top ofcl, which has been considering its own new rules on AI campaign use.
The dispute — along w/ #inaction at the #FEC & #Congress — could leave #voters w/limited federal #protections against those who use #AI to #mislead the public or mask their #political msgs…. New #generativeAI technologies have already proved capable of creating uncannily realistic images.
“AI has the potential to be very influential in our #elections, & right now, there’s a total vacuum of #regulation on this issue,” said Ellen Weintraub, the Democratic vice chair of the FEC.
The difference in #Arizona is that the fight is playing out not in a solidly #RedState, but in a closely divided battleground. #Political experts say the #immigration enforcement measure could have unpredictable ripple effects on races for president & for control of the #UnitedStates#Senate.
On Tues, the AZ House, which is under #Republican control, is expected to give the proposal final approval for the ballot.
…AZ’s pop is 32% #Latino, & many voters still have searing memories of #SB1070.
