What this bill does
H.R. 8668, the AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2024, would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act to require disclosure when political advertisements contain images, audio, or video "substantially generated" by artificial intelligence. Covered communications include ads that advocate for or against a candidate, refer to a candidate close to an election, or solicit campaign contributions, including ads that use a candidate's AI-generated likeness or voice. Minor edits like cropping or color adjustment would not trigger the requirement. Depending on the medium, disclaimers would have to appear as on-screen text, be spoken aloud, or both, following specific format and duration rules.
The bill primarily affects candidates, campaigns, political committees, and others who pay for political advertising, as well as the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which would enforce the new rule and could impose civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation. The FEC would also be required to issue implementing regulations within 90 days of enactment, in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and to report to Congress on compliance and enforcement starting two years after enactment.
The bill was introduced on June 7, 2024, by Rep. Joseph Morelle and referred to the House Committee on House Administration. It did not receive a committee vote or further action before the end of the 118th Congress, meaning it did not become law.
