Klobuchar Statement on Senate Bipartisan AI Insight Forum on Democracy

Press Release

"We had a productive discussion at today's Senate AI forum on democracy with election officials, researchers, democracy groups, and tech companies. There's broad consensus that we need guardrails in place, and today we saw tech companies announce additional actions to address AI in elections, including Microsoft's endorsement of my bipartisan bill to ban deceptive AI in political ads and Meta's announcement that they will require disclaimers on political ads that use AI-generated content starting next year.

But as was discussed at the forum, we need laws in place and we can't just rely on voluntary steps. Voters deserve full transparency, and I'll keep pushing to ban deceptive AI-generated campaign ads in our elections to combat the spread of disinformation and pass stronger disclosure laws that account for AI-manipulated content."
