AI Summary

This bill aims to address the threat of deepfakes, which are AI-generated content that falsely depicts a candidate's speech or actions, in communications related to candidates for elective office. The key provisions are: 1. It prohibits the distribution of communications concerning a candidate that include a deepfake, unless the communication includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure that the content is a deepfake. The disclosure requirements specify formatting and placement standards for visual, audio, and multimedia communications. 2. It provides for enforcement through the filing of complaints with the Secretary of State, who can impose civil penalties for violations. 3. It creates a private cause of action for candidates whose appearance, action, or speech is depicted in an unlawful deepfake communication, allowing them to seek injunctive relief, damages, and other remedies. 4. The bill applies to communications distributed on or after July 1, 2024, and aims to preserve the public peace, health, and safety by protecting the integrity of elections in Colorado.
