After several weeks of thorough discussions, the Federal Election Commission has decided that it may establish regulations to govern the use of AI-generated content in political advertising. The petition, submitted by the advocacy group "Public Citizen," calls on the commission to exercise its authority to create rules that prohibit candidates and political parties from using AI to distort their opponents, thereby penalizing fraudulent practices. This decision reflects a serious acknowledgment of the threat posed by AI to the democratic system in elections. As the 2024 election approaches, both civil society organizations and the federal government are eager to expedite the creation of rules to regulate the use of AI, particularly in political advertising. Meanwhile, Senator Klobuchar has indicated her intention to introduce new legislation that would enhance the Federal Election Commission's oversight capabilities regarding AI.
