Overview: LD 1690, "An Act Regarding Artificial Intelligence In Campaign Advertising", was introduced on April 17, 2025, but has since been placed in the legislative files, effectively killing the bill.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aimed to address the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in political campaign advertising. The primary goal was to establish regulations and guidelines around the use of AI-generated content in campaign ads to ensure transparency and prevent deception of voters.
Key Provisions:
- Require clear disclosure when campaign ads use AI-generated content
- Prohibit the use of AI to create "deepfake" videos or audio that misrepresent a candidate's statements or actions
- Mandate that campaign committees maintain records of AI-generated content used in ads
- Empower the state's election commission to investigate and enforce violations
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would have primarily impacted political campaigns, campaign committees, and advertising agencies that utilize AI technologies. Voters would have also been affected, as the regulations aimed to provide them with more transparent and accurate information about campaign ads.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill was introduced in the state legislature but did not progress further, being placed in the legislative files pursuant to Joint Rule 310.3, effectively killing the proposal.
