Will artificial intelligence be the doom of political integrity? Or will it help promote election law compliance in California?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depends on who you ask, according to a panel of tech and campaign finance experts who spoke today at the state Fair Political Practices Commission\u2019s 50th anniversary event in Sacramento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The independent nonpartisan commission \u2014 California\u2019s campaign finance watchdog agency \u2014 was created by the Political Reform Act in 1974 to ensure transparency in state and local politics after the Watergate scandal. The agency<\/a> ~\uc758 about 100 employees<\/a> regulates lobbying, conflict of interest, campaign finance and ethics violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event featured former and current commissioners, campaign finance attorneys and state legislators, including former commission Chairperson Ann Ravel, Political Reform Act co-author Bob Stern and state Sen. \uc2a4\ud2f0\ube0c \uae00\ub808\uc774\uc800<\/a>, an Orinda Democrat. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Gov. Jerry Brown both appeared on the screen in pre-recorded footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panelists reviewed the origin of the Political Reform Act, established by a voter-approved ballot measure and endorsed by Brown. They also combed through challenges facing the commission, with some recounting funding restraints and enforcement backlogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the panels \u2014 moderated by commission Chairperson Adam Silver \u2014 discussed the role of AI in elections. While the proliferation of deep fakes concerns him, the technology could help bolster the agency\u2019s enforcement efforts on campaign finance violations and educate officials on compliance, Silver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Morris, a senior strategic client executive at Microsoft, deemed the technology \u201cthe steam engine of the fourth industrial revolution.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly Elections Committee Chairperson Gail Pellerin<\/a>, a Santa Cruz Democrat and former local elections official for nearly three decades, said AI could also help answer voter questions, monitor cybersecurity threats, optimize voting locations and even redraw districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Drew Liebert, initiative director at the nonprofit California Initiative for Technology and Democracy, warned of the abuse of AI in elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to be very careful as we study these enormous learning machines out there scooping up \u2026 all of the information on the internet,” he said. “I think we have to approach AI with a great deal of caution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a letter<\/a> today to top social media and AI companies, reminding executives at Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, X and others that California laws ban certain types of \u201cvoter intimidation, deception, and dissuasion,\u201d and that the laws may apply to information on social media sites and AI-generated content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonta also said companies<\/a> have either \u201ceased or eliminated\u201d their content-moderation policies, despite a \u201cdramatic increase\u201d of misinformation on social media during the 2020 general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\t
