US Federal Election Commission officials are split over a proposal to mandate disclosure of artificial intelligence (AI) content in political ads, with Vice Chair Ellen Weintraub supporting the measure and Chair Sean Cooksey criticizing it. The proposal aims to address concerns about AI-generated content potentially misleading voters in the upcoming elections, particularly in the form of 'deep fakes.' While Weintraub advocates for transparency in political advertising involving AI, Cooksey argues that mandatory disclosures could create chaos and conflict with existing laws. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed regulations to cover broadcast radio and television ads, but lacks jurisdiction over internet, social media, or streaming services. The debate comes as AI-generated political content gains attention following instances of deceptive robocalls impersonating public figures.
