AI Ads Act

This bill, titled the AI Ads Act, amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to address the use of artificial intelligence in political campaigns. It explicitly clarifies that the existing prohibitions against fraudulent misrepresentation of campaign authority and fraudulent solicitation of funds now encompass content generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence, specifically generative AI.

Furthermore, the bill significantly expands the scope of these prohibitions. It removes the restriction that these prohibitions apply only to candidates for Federal office or their agents, making them applicable to any person. The bill also broadens the range of entities protected from such fraudulent activities to include any candidate, political party, or other real or fictitious political committee or organization, and their employees or agents, regardless of whether the intent is to cause damage.
