A New Orleans representative is trying again with a bill that would crack down on political messaging created with the use of artificial intelligence. Democrat Mandie Landry says a bill she’s filed requires any image on political material created with AI that could deceive the recipient be clearly disclosed as such.
“If I have a photo of you robbing a bank, if you use artificial intelligence, I have to say, clear as day, ‘This was created with artificial intelligence,'” Landry explained.
Speaking to Tommy Tucker on WWL radio, Landry says she filed a similar bill last year that wasn’t as narrow in scope, and it made it onto Governor Landry’s desk.
“I can send out a piece of mail that says “Tommy’s a bad person,” but if I send out a piece of mail that looks exactly like you robbing a bank, that would have made that wildly illegal. And the governor vetoed it, which was very interesting,” Landry noted.
Landry says it’s important that governments, not just in Louisiana but everywhere and at all levels, get on top of artificial intelligence.
“I think it’s important that we make progress on that this year, because the technology moves so fast that, for some of these things, if we wait another year or two, it’s going to fly by,” Landry said.
