Representative Anderson and Senator Spreitzer issued the following statements after the signing of Act 123. Representative Clinton Anderson:
Senator Mark Spreitzer: “With the signing of Act 123, Wisconsin is leading the country in safeguarding elections from AI interference. The use of AI to create a political ad is not inherently good or bad. Generative AI could be used to create a clever animation to illustrate a candidate's views, or it could be used to create a realistic-looking video clip that makes it look like their opponent said something they never did. This bill will leave it up to voters to determine whether what they are seeing or hearing is "fair," but it will give voters the information to know that what they are seeing or hearing may not be “real.” I am proud to have worked with our bipartisan coalition to get this bill drafted and through the legislative process this year.” |
