A BILL THAT PASSED THE HOUSE 93-TO-ONE LAST WEEK REQUIRES “DEEP FAKE” ADS FOR CANDIDATES OR BALLOT INITIATIVES IN IOWA TO INCLUDE A DISCLAIMER.

THE BILL ALSO WOULD PROHIBIT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS THAT COUNT OR MARK BALLOTS IN IOWA ELECTIONS.
THE BILL MUST CLEAR THE SENATE STATE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE BY FRIDAY TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATAION THIS YEAR.
