Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.

Expands rules against political campaign fraud to include AI-generated content and more people.

This bill would make it clear that using artificial intelligence to create fake political campaign messages or to trick people into donating money is against the rules. It would also expand these rules to apply to anyone, not just candidates, and protect more groups from such fraud.

What Would Change

Today, existing laws prohibit fraudulent misrepresentation and fundraising in campaigns, mainly by candidates or their agents, but do not specifically mention AI-generated content. After this bill, using AI to create fake campaign authority messages or trick people into donating would be clearly prohibited. These rules would also apply to any person, not just candidates, and protect a wider range of political groups.
