Full Legal Analysis

The PAID Act requires that any political communication produced with synthetic media must include a clear disclosure stating that it was created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. This applies to various forms of media, including printed materials and digital content, ensuring that the disclosure is legible and prominent. Additionally, all political committees are mandated to keep detailed records of their use of synthetic media, including types used, voter outreach numbers, and expenditures. Candidate committees must submit these records to the state board of elections within one month after election certification, while other committees must do so within one month after election day. The state board of elections is tasked with creating a record template and establishing regulations to enforce these requirements. This legislation aligns with growing trends in transparency and accountability in political advertising, similar to measures seen in other jurisdictions addressing AI in media.
