The FCC has announced a comment period for its proposed rule on using AI in political ads, requiring licensees to report such ads. Published on August 5, comments are due by September 4, with replies by September 19. Despite Republican opposition, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel supports the rule, citing the 1934 Communications Act and the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act for authority. The rule aims for transparency, not censorship. A Senate amendment to block the mandate failed. Senator Amy Klobuchar supports the FCC’s transparency efforts, though her related bills were rejected. The FCC seeks to ensure voters are informed about AI-generated political content.
