Misleading voters is anti-American
Federal Election Commission
Misleading voters is anti-American. There is a troubling rise in the use of deep fake videos and audio to mislead the American voters.
AI-generated “deepfake” voice clips and videos can be used to impersonate a candidate or political party, misleading voters and dishonestly skewing their views of the person or group impersonated. As such, we are requesting restrictions on the use of audio and video deepfake technology created without the expressed written consent of the individual or entity being represented for a political purpose. Campaign ads would still be able to use parody or make statements critical of other candidates or political parties by way of text or images.
Can you take 1 (one) minute and sign on to our joint letter we are sending to the Federal Election to Commission to disallow political ads that use audio and video deepfakes?

I fully support the current petition that requests the Federal Election Commission clarify the Misrepresentation Provision of 52 U.S.C. 30124(a)(1) applies to campaign ads that are created with Artificial Intelligence (also known as AI) with the express intention of misleading voters about other candidates or political parties.
AI-generated “deepfake” voice clips and videos can be used to impersonate a candidate or political party, misleading voters and dishonestly skewing their views of the person or group impersonated. As such, we are requesting restrictions on the use of audio and video deepfake technology created without the expressed written consent of the individual or entity being represented for a political purpose.
Clarifying the applications of the Misrepresentation Provision of 52 U.S.C. 30124 would not impede on freedom of speech. Campaign ads would still be able to use parody or make statements critical of other candidates or political parties by way of text or images. The use of audio and video deepfakes, specifically, should be disallowed, as they harm our ability as citizens to make informed factual decisions.
Sincerely,
