New AI guidance for election offices
This bill would require the Election Assistance Commission to work with NIST on voluntary AI guidelines for election offices. EAC must issue the first guidelines within 60 days after enactment. The guidelines would cover risks and benefits of using AI, and cybersecurity risks to election systems. They would also address how AI-made content can affect accurate election information and how offices should respond. The guidelines would cover how AI can spread election disinformation that harms public trust. EAC would study AI use in the 2024 federal elections and report to Congress by July 31, 2026. After the study, EAC would review and update the voluntary guidelines as appropriate. These actions would be voluntary and would not create new funding or penalties.
