Preparing Election Administrators for AI Act

This bill directs the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to create voluntary guidelines for state and local election offices on managing artificial intelligence (AI) in elections. The guidelines must address AI's risks and benefits, cybersecurity threats, how AI affects sharing accurate election information, and how it might spread disinformation. The EAC must also study AI's use in the 2024 federal elections by July 2026 and update the guidelines based on that study. These guidelines are non-binding, meaning election offices choose whether to adopt them, and they aim to help election administrators navigate AI tools responsibly.
