It appears that there won’t be any new regulations on the use of artificial intelligence or AI in elections<\/a> from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for the 2024 election cycle, based on the recent vote to table the pursuit of regulations on “deepfake” political ads. <\/p>\n

Some are concerned that the election could become an\u00a0“AI arms race”<\/a>. The rationale behind this is a common proliferation scenario where each party fears the other having more weapons, so it gets more itself. <\/p>\n

Where to draw the line is an important question. Because we protect free speech \u2013 especially surrounding political campaigns \u2013<\/a> it is one that each campaign will have to figure out for itself. This doesn\u2019t mean that there can be no rules. Instead, it provides an opportunity for campaigns to devise shared ethical standards. <\/p>\n

GOP 2024 CANDIDATE GETS AI MAKEOVER: FRANCIS SUAREZ LOOKALIKE MAY BE ‘SURROGATE’ AND DO INTERVIEWS, PAC SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This is not without precedent: some elections have featured\u00a0clean campaign pledges, and political parties regularly agree on debate formats and rules through the\u00a0Commission on Presidential Debates.<\/a> However, this is\u00a0not without controversy. <\/p>\n

The exact rules that campaigns agree on \u2013 labeling generated content and allowing the targeting of ads to individual voters, but not customization, for example \u2013 would have to be negotiated. These rules might set a precedent for future presidential campaigns and campaigns of all types. <\/p>\n

Campaigns can tout their compliance, such as with RNC\u2019s recent\u00a0promotion of their ethical use of AI<\/a>\u00a0in a campaign ad. Rival campaigns can also call out\u00a0rule violations by other campaigns,\u00a0and potentially gain political points by doing so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, the question would be whether candidates saw an opponent gaining political ammunition from violating the rules to be more or less damaging than what they would stand to gain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the data or votes to be gained are more valuable, then there is little chance of AI limitations being agreed to, much less followed. Of course, even calling for AI limitations could become political capital, with campaigns potentially gaining publicity and voter support. <\/p>\n

If campaigns cannot agree on AI use limitations \u2013 or don\u2019t follow them \u2013 the onus falls on voters to critically evaluate campaign marketing. Third-party\u00a0content labeling\u00a0by\u00a0media organizations\u00a0or others could prospectively\u00a0aid readers\u00a0in this; however, even limited exposure to misinformation can be\u00a0hard to correct\u00a0and\u00a0drives greater future belief\u00a0in similar misinformation. <\/p>\n

Additionally, labeling may give additional credibility to content that is not labeled as AI-generated, even though it could be. <\/p>\n

It is important to note that these issues are not unique to AI content. AI facilitates lower cost and more rapid alternation and targeting of content. It took a Hollywood team to edit then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger into the movie “Terminator Salvation,” using content from prior movies. <\/p>\n

AI deep fake technology allowed a YouTube creator to\u00a0develop a more complex “Terminator” substitution, placing Sylvester Stallone into the iconic role, presumably at a fraction of the time and cost. <\/p>\n

ChatGPT can similarly\u00a0speed up the\u00a0writing process and has been so valuable to its users as to become the\u00a0fastest-growing app ever; however, it is not without content accuracy\u00a0issues. Cambridge Analytica showed the\u00a0power of computer analysis\u00a0to allow campaigns to get to know voters as well as community campaigners \u2013 all from a distance, without human intervention, and at a fraction of the cost. <\/p>\n

Ideally, standards for campaign behavior will emerge and be followed as campaign decorum. Of course, each candidate runs the risk of another violating these unofficial and unenforceable standards to their benefit. <\/p>\n

Even if the FEC had decided to pursue AI ad regulation, it is not clear that this would have been successful. The power of the FEC\u00a0doesn\u2019t extend to content regulation, even though legislation to this effect\u00a0has been introduced. However, the Supreme Court\u2019s\u00a0Citizens United ruling\u00a0suggests that a constitutional amendment might be necessary to regulate AI use in campaign speech, as it proscribes laws from banning “political speech based on the speaker\u2019s identity.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the most effective deterrent is the power of public opinion. The fear of intense voter backlash \u2013 based on public reaction to similar campaign decorum violations in the past \u2013 is a risk that all but the most desperate long-shot candidates will likely avoid. <\/p>\n

We stand at a crossroads with regards to the introduction of AI in politics. Our choices today will shape the political discourse for future generations and determine the integrity of our democratic processes and institutions. <\/p>\n

We can no more blindly embrace all uses of AI in the political arena than we can presume that no one will use the technology. Instead, we must find a balance where AI helps deliver legitimate information and candidate messages to voters, but is not used to confuse, inundate or intimidate them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
