Massachusetts lawmakers move to curb deepfakes and protect election integrity
BOSTON — House lawmakers on Beacon Hill have passed two bills intended to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in elections, aiming to protect election integrity.
This is part of an effort to fight misinformation and deepfakes in elections. One of the bills would ban artificial intelligence in campaign ads 90 days before an election.
The other would require campaigns to disclose the use of AI in any political ads.
"As artificial intelligence continues to reshape our economy and many aspects of our daily lives, lawmakers have a responsibility to ensure that AI does not further the spread of misinformation in our politics," said House Speaker Ronald Mariano.
