He revealed that he \u2062had engaged in discussions with nearly 20\u2064 technology leaders on topics\u200d such as\u2062 watermarking and deepfakes.<\/p>\n<h3>Legislation with a Quicker Timetable<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Legislation related to\u2063 AI and election misinformation has a quicker timetable than the others, and that&#8217;s very important to do,&#8221; \u200bemphasized Schumer. While he did not provide \u2064an exact \u2063timeline, he previously expressed his intention to pass AI-related legislation within a \u200cmatter of\u2064 months.<\/p>\n<p>Technology companies \u200bhave already taken steps to address the rise of \u200dAI-generated campaign ads. Google, for instance, updated its advertising policy to require \u2063political ads to \u2063disclose if they contain AI-generated images.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Election Commission\u2062 has also taken action by voting to publish a petition that would broaden the definition of &#8220;fraudulent misrepresentation&#8221; \u2062to include deepfakes.<\/p>\n<p>AI in Political Campaigns<\/p>\n<p>AI-generated\u2063 images\u2063 have already made their way into political campaigns. \u2062Former President\u2064 Donald Trump utilized AI-generated pictures of himself, while Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) featured AI-created images of Trump hugging Anthony Fauci in an ad.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, deepfakes have been employed in the Russia-Ukraine war\u2064 to manipulate public perception and create the illusion of peace declarations.<\/p>\n<p>At Schumer&#8217;s AI \u200dinsight forum, over 60 senators gathered\u2063 to\u200b gain insights from\u200b nearly two dozen Silicon Valley leaders. The \u200caim was to \u2064understand the potential of this new technology and establish necessary safeguards through congressional action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE \u2062TO READ MORE \u200dFROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) plans to prioritize legislation on AI-powered election misinformation as the 2024 presidential election nears.
