Securing Elections From AI Deception Act
This bill bans developers and deployers of AI algorithms from using them to deceive voters about election procedures (like voting locations or registration rules) or intimidate people from voting. It requires clear disclaimers - such as "AI Disclaimer: This output was generated by artificial intelligence" - on AI-generated election content, including fake candidate videos or altered voting information. The law sets safety standards for election-related AI, requiring developers to ensure algorithms are "safe and effective" before use. The Federal Trade Commission enforces these rules, with violations potentially leading to fines or up to one year in prison.
