This bill mandates the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) , in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to develop and issue voluntary guidelines for State and local election offices regarding the use and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in election administration within 60 days of enactment. These comprehensive guidelines will address various critical aspects, including the benefits and cybersecurity risks associated with AI, how AI-generated information affects the sharing of accurate election information, and strategies for responding to AI-driven election disinformation that could undermine public trust. Furthermore, the bill requires the EAC to conduct a detailed study on the use and impacts of AI technologies in the 2024 federal elections, with its findings to be reported by July 31, 2026. Based on the results of this study, the EAC is then obligated to review and update the initial voluntary guidelines as appropriate, ensuring they remain current and effective in addressing evolving AI challenges in the electoral process.
