Bill Summary

A bill to prohibit the distribution of materially deceptive AI-generated audio or visual media relating to candidates for Federal office, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act," prohibits the distribution of materially deceptive audio or visual media (defined as AI-generated content that would give a reasonable person a fundamentally different understanding or impression than the original, unaltered version) related to candidates for federal office, with the purpose of influencing an election or soliciting funds. The bill provides exceptions for certain media entities, satire or parody, and allows covered individuals (candidates) to seek injunctive relief or damages against those who distribute such deceptive content. The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found invalid, the rest of the act can remain in effect.
