Florida tries to crack down on campaigns using AI

Published January 17, 2024 3:22pm ET



A Florida Senate committee approved legislation Tuesday demanding disclosure on the use of artificial intelligence in campaign ads, with the bill’s proposer saying “it threatens the integrity of elections.” 

Senate Bill 850 would require political ads to have disclaimers on content featuring images, audio, or text using generative AI. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Nick DiCeglie, a Republican, said the bill will help define AI content and regulate misleading and illusive ads by making viewers aware that AI is involved.
