#influencecampaign — Public Fediverse posts

The federal #government is facing a dwindling window to #regulate the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in campaigns before the #2024election.
The #FCC chair announced a plan last month to require #politicians to disclose #AI use in TV & radio #ads. But the prop is facing opposition from a #FEC top ofcl, which has been considering its own new rules on AI campaign use.
