In more election news, the consumer advocate group Public Citizen called out the Federal Election Commission Thursday after the agency announced it will not regulate AI “deepfakes” in political ads before November. Public Citizen called it a “shameful abrogation of [the FEC’s] responsibilities.” The group pointed to a recent post by X owner Elon Musk showing an AI-altered image of Kamala Harris. Musk’s post was in violation of his company’s own rules against posting misinformation without context.
