Friends,

AI technology is used to create deepfakes by manipulating a person’s actions or speech. Deepfakes can be used to effectively spread disinformation. Coloradans deserve to know when the content they are consuming is real and when it has been altered by AI.

One of my legislative priorities is a bill that requires deepfakes and AI-generated media that feature Colorado candidates or officeholders have disclaimers so Coloradans know they may not be real.

AI generated communications without a disclaimer will be subject to campaign finance enforcement and penalties, and the featured person would have a private right of action to sue those responsible for the communication.

My fellow Secretaries of State are also working to confront this challenge. From public education campaigns to rapid-response communications, our elections are in good hands when Secretaries of State take action.

Read this Politico article to learn more about how Secretaries of State across the country are tackling AI head-on.

Thank you,
