AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2024

This bill requires political advertisements containing AI-generated content (like images, audio, or video substantially created by AI) to include clear, visible disclaimers. It directly affects campaigns, advertisers, and digital platforms running election ads in the 120 days before a primary or general election. Disclaimers must be prominently displayed in text (for images), spoken audibly for 4+ seconds (for audio), or combined for video, with fines up to $50,000 per violation for non-compliance. The Federal Election Commission must report on enforcement and compliance biannually starting two years after enactment.
