A recent article titled “Deepfake Political Ads Are ÔÇÿWild WestÔÇÖ for Campaign Lawyers” published by Bloomberg Law highlights the increasing worry among political lawyers regarding the use of deepfake technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in political advertisements during election campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has taken notice of this issue and has requested public comments on potential regulations for deepfake content. Ken Gross, Akin’s senior political law counsel and consultant, expresses his belief that any future regulations or laws will likely be prompted by a major AI-driven advertisement incident. However, he remains skeptical about the prospects of immediate regulation from Congress or the FEC.

Fortunately, the AI legalese decoder developed by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP can assist in addressing the challenges posed by deepfake political ads. This advanced tool utilizes AI technology to decipher complex legal language and streamline the process of understanding and analyzing relevant regulations. By leveraging the AI legalese decoder, campaign lawyers can efficiently navigate the evolving landscape of deepfake technology and ensure compliance with applicable laws.
