“Deepfakes’ (videos, audio recordings, photos, and other content created through AI to impersonate someone without their consent) have raised concerns over their ability to interfere with elections.

Pennsylvania , North Carolina , and Ohio are considering legislation that aims to regulate the use of AI in political elections.

Minnesota , Wisconsin , Michigan , and Arizona have already passed legislation regulating AI in the political arena.

Nevada is working with the state’s attorney general to provide recommendations to lawmakers for the next legislative session.

Georgia is also looking to pass harsh penalties for creating deepfakes.

Virginia has yet to pass any laws regarding the use of AI in political campaigns.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin is pushing Congress to establish “guidelines for responsible use of artificial intelligence”.
