H.R.5272

Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act

Introduced·9/10/25

Prohibits distribution of AI-generated deceptive audio or visual media in federal elections.

The Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act aims to safeguard federal elections by prohibiting the distribution of AI-generated deceptive audio or visual media. This includes content that falsely represents a candidate's appearance, speech, or conduct. Violations can lead to civil actions for damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees. Satire or parody is exempt from these prohibitions. The act also amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to treat violations as defamation per se.
