Pa. bill would penalize AI misrepresentation in elections
Lawmakers are considering penalties for using AI to misrepresent candidates near elections as AI-generated content surfaces in Pennsylvania campaigns.
A bill pending in the Pennsylvania Capitol would impose consequences for using artificial intelligence to misrepresent candidates close to an election. The measure comes as AI tools — including parodies and chatbot phone banks — are increasingly appearing in state races, raising concerns about misinformation and voter confusion.
