The Senate Judiciary subcommittee held a hearing on the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) and the need for regulation.
Concerns are mounting that AI-generated content, such as deepfakes, could pose a significant threat to the democratic process, especially as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
Experts emphasized the need for regulation to address issues related to the spread of disinformation and the impact on election safety and voter trust.
The panel included experts with deep experience in AI, such as Helen Toner from Georgetown University and Margaret Mitchell, former Staff Research Scientist.
