House Administration Top Democrat to Hold Artificial Intelligence Roundtable with FEC, FCC Leaders

WASHINGTON – TOMORROW, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Rep. Joe Morelle, the top Democrat of the Committee on House Administration, will convene top Federal Election Commission (FEC) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) leaders to have an in-depth discussion about the impact artificial intelligence-powered content currently has on our elections and how we can protect the safety and security of future elections. 

Earlier this year we witnessed how an AI-generated robocall attempted to manipulate and suppress voters in New Hampshire. Even more recently, a Michigan congressional candidate used an AI-generated voice to sound like the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had endorsed his congressional campaign. This roundtable will provide some of the nation’s top lawmakers and decisionmakers with an opportunity to discuss the importance of FCC and the FEC rules to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in election communications, as well as potential policy solutions that would combat election mis-and disinformation created by AI-generated communications.

WHAT:
Rep. Joe Morelle “Artificial Intelligence and Elections: A Conversation with FCC and FEC Leaders”

PARTICIPANTS:
Congressman Joe Morelle, Ranking Member, Committee on House Administration
Jessica Rosenworcel, Chairwoman, Federal Communications Commission
Ellen Weintraub, Vice Chair, Federal Election Commission
Spencer Overton, Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School
Additional Members of Congress will attend the roundtable

WHEN:
Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 3:00pm ET

HC-6, U.S. Capitol
