- The Oklahoma Ethics Commission is addressing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in political advertising following concerns from lawmakers and the public.
- During a special meeting, the commission discussed AI in political ads and reviewed regulations from other states, noting that while many states have enacted rules, Oklahoma currently has none.
- The commission emphasizes transparency and disclosure as primary concerns, fearing potential constitutional issues when regulating content.
- Due to the lack of emergency rule-making authority, the commission’s actions will take time.
- Gov. Kevin Stitt has threatened to call a special legislative session to tackle what he’s termed the misuse of AI in political ads, although the commission’s executive director declined to comment on this issue.
