Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act

TL;DR (AI)

• This bill prohibits the distribution of materially deceptive AI-generated audio or visual media depicting candidates for federal office with the intent to influence an election or solicit funds.
• Radio, television stations, newspapers, magazines, and publications featuring satire or parody are exempt from the prohibition if they provide clear disclosures regarding the authenticity of the media.
• Candidates for federal office can seek legal action, including injunctive relief and damages, against those who violate the prohibition, and a violation is considered defamation per se.
