from the FCC for election misinformation and unlawful call spoofing, alongside an additional $2 million fine against the telecommunications company involved. Furthermore, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella has filed multiple charges against him, including 13 felony counts of voter suppression and 13 misdemeanor counts of impersonation of a candidate. The FCC’s proposal, reported by TechCrunch, suggests that both candidate and issue ads must include disclosures about AI-generated content. However, this regulation would apply only to cable operators, satellite TV, and radio providers, not to streaming services or platforms like YouTube, which fall outside the FCC’s regulatory scope. The proposal is still in its initial stages. The FCC intends to open a public comment period to determine the necessity and definition of AI-generated content in political ads. This step comes as political advertising activity intensifies and the election season heats up. While this move by the FCC may seem belated to some, it represents a critical acknowledgment of AI’s potential to disrupt democratic processes. The effectiveness and enforcement of such regulations, especially given the limitations in scope, remain subjects of public and political debate.
