Plain-English Summary

This bill would make it illegal to use artificial intelligence to create deceptive election content—like fake videos or audio of candidates—without clearly labeling it as AI-generated material. It aims to protect voters from being misled by sophisticated deepfakes and manipulated media during elections, and would likely impose penalties on people or groups who spread such deceptive content. The rules would apply to anyone trying to influence elections, from political campaigns to outside groups.
