Artificial intelligence and elections

The League is closely monitoring AI’s potential impacts on our elections. In October 2023, the League supported a petition to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), arguing that the FEC should regulate “Deceptive AI Campaign Communications” like other deceptive campaign communications. LWVUS urged the Commission to heed the requests in the petition and issue explicit guidance that deceptive AI campaign communications meet the definition of “fraudulent misrepresentation” according to the US Legal Code.
