Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Election Assistance Commission to create voluntary guidelines for state and local election offices on how to manage artificial intelligence technologies in elections. The guidelines must address the benefits and risks of using AI in election administration, cybersecurity threats posed by AI, how AI-generated information affects the spread of accurate election information, and how to combat election disinformation spread through AI. The Election Assistance Commission must develop these guidelines in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and submit them to Congress within 60 days of the bill's enactment, while also sharing them with state and local election offices and the public. The bill does not appropriate specific funding or create binding requirements, instead offering voluntary guidance that election administrators can choose to adopt.
