Democracy Leaders Introduce Solutions to Curb Emerging Digital Threats
CITED’s 2024 legislative package would help regulate the dangers that AI, deepfakes, and disinformation pose to our democracy
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has the potential to super-charge election disinformation and other anti-voter tactics. We need a bold reform agenda to fight back. Common Cause is committed to pushing for AI transparency and accountability to support our democracy.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and other emerging technologies pose a serious threat to our democracy and our elections that many policymakers simply are not prepared to address. In a few clicks, bad actors can create deceptive content about candidates or impersonate election officials—then spread those lies like wildfire. We need transparency and accountability from social media platforms, news organizations, and Artificial Intelligence companies themselves to make sure our democracy does not fall victim to a deluge of AI-powered disinformation.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
