Bill > SB375

This bill amends Kansas law to prohibit the use of generative artificial intelligence to create false representations of candidates in election campaign media or of state officials. It defines "synthetic media" as images, audio recordings, or video recordings that have been intentionally manipulated using generative AI or other digital technology to produce a realistic but false or inaccurate depiction. The bill establishes an affirmative defense if the communication containing synthetic media includes a clear disclosure that the content has been manipulated. It also modifies existing laws related to "corrupt political advertising" to include the use of synthetic media to alter the appearance, action, or speech of a candidate or state official.
