Oklahoma Ethics Commission adding guardrails on artificial intelligence in campaign ads

The Oklahoma Ethics Commission is discussing measures to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in political campaign ads.
The commission has focused on the implications of deep fakes and other AI technologies in campaign communications.
There is a significant divide of opinion on the potential and ethical aspects of such AI usage among the commission members.
It was noted that 36 states have already implemented laws to manage deep fakes in political messaging, paving the way for potential new guidelines in Oklahoma.
The commission has voted to start the rulemaking process to determine restrictions on AI use in political advertising.
No legislation was passed in the latest session related to artificial intelligence in political messaging, but the commission plans to work with the legislature on it.
The governor has indicated the possibility of calling a special session to address deceptive AI-generated political content.
Current campaign ad practices vary, with some using AI fully disclosing its usage for transparency while others refrain from its use.
