Mrs. FISCHER. Thank you.

Madam President, like many of my colleagues, I am concerned about artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes in the context of political speech and election administration. But the Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act is not a solution to this problem. The bill recycles provisions from the partisan For the People Act. It is overly broad, and it would prohibit the distribution of political ads that include AI-generated audio or visuals, including commonly used image and video editing programs. It greatly expands the regulation of protected speech and uses vague terms that will inevitably chill that speech.
