Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act
This bill prohibits distributing AI-generated audio or video that misrepresents a federal election candidate's speech or appearance in a way a reasonable person would believe was authentic, during election campaigns. It specifically bans such content when distributed with intent to influence votes or raise funds, affecting candidates, political committees, and entities involved in federal elections. Exceptions apply for news organizations (with clear authenticity disclaimers) and satirical content. Candidates can sue violators for damages or seek court orders to stop distribution, with the burden of proof on the plaintiff.
