Require disclosure for deepfakes intended to harm a candidate or deceive voters by stating, "This communication has been manipulated or generated by artificial intelligence." Ensure the statement is audible or visible throughout digital communications.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding state legislative bill that creates mandatory legal obligations with the force of law, using mandatory language ('shall') and establishing specific compliance requirements for communications involving deepfakes in political contexts.
The document has good coverage of approximately 3-4 subdomains, with strong focus on malicious actors using AI for disinformation and fraud (4.1, 4.3), misinformation risks (3.1, 3.2), and some coverage of AI system capabilities and limitations (7.3). Coverage is concentrated in misinformation, malicious use, and electoral integrity domains.
This document primarily governs the Information sector (media, broadcasting, telecommunications, and digital communications) and Public Administration excluding National Security (electoral processes and political communications). It regulates how AI-generated content is disclosed across various communication channels in political contexts.
The document primarily focuses on the Deploy and Operate and Monitor stages of the AI lifecycle, as it regulates the use and distribution of AI-generated deepfakes in political communications and requires ongoing disclosure throughout the communication's display. It does not address earlier stages like planning, data collection, or model development.
The document explicitly addresses AI systems and techniques used to create deepfakes, specifically mentioning machine learning, natural language processing, and computational processing techniques. It focuses on generative AI capabilities that create synthetic media. No mention of specific model types, compute thresholds, or open-source models.
Alaska State Legislature
The document is Alaska Senate Bill No. 177, indicating it was proposed by the Alaska State Legislature through its Senate.
While not explicitly named in this excerpt, the bill amends Alaska election statutes (AS 15.13), suggesting enforcement would fall to Alaska's election oversight authorities and potentially the Alaska Public Offices Commission or Attorney General's office.
The document does not explicitly specify monitoring bodies. However, as an amendment to Alaska election law, monitoring would likely be conducted by Alaska's election oversight agencies and potentially civil society organizations monitoring political communications.
The bill targets any person who creates, distributes, or uses deepfake communications in political contexts. This includes AI developers creating deepfake tools, deployers using such tools for political communications, and users disseminating such content.
