TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida House has approved a measure (HB 919) that would mandate political advertisements created using generative artificial intelligence to include a disclaimer acknowledging the use of the technology.
The bill passed with a vote of 104-8, though some Democrats raised concerns about the inclusion of a criminal penalty in the legislation.
Under the proposed bill, political ads utilizing AI-generated “images, video, audio, graphics, or other digital content” must include a disclaimer stating: “Created in whole or in part with the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI).”
Individuals responsible for paying, sponsoring, or approving political ads found to violate this requirement could face first-degree misdemeanor charges.

A warning label doesn’t go nearly far enough.
There should be an absolute ban, with heavy civil and criminal penalties for each violation, for the use of an identifiable person’s likeness in an artificially generated picture unless explicit written consent has been obtained from ALL people in said picture.
The legislative language would have to be spelled out with care. Likenesses that are obviously artificial — editorial cartoons, caricatures, tee shirt or poster art that doesn’t masquerade as a real image, etc. — are ok.
The problem arises with pictures that could be construed as real. That is a falsification of the historical record.
Bipartisan, overwhelming supprt.
So if it’s just computer-generated, but not “AI”, that’s OK?
Frankly, I would be grateful for the presence of ANY intelligence in political campaign advertising!
I still remember LBJ’s adds of the little girl eating ice cream and another of her picking the pedals off a flower “He loves me, he loves me not”. Both ending in a horrifying nuclear blast.
I remember that
The RNC ad didn’t even need a disclaimer. It was presented as an ad about future news clips if Biden were re-elected. Only a totally confused person would see that as real.
“Only a totally confused person would see that as real”
So, all liberals then?
I know some idiot libs that would HOPE it was real. 😏
So, all liberals then?
