Brennan Center for Justice:

• Regulating AI Deepfakes – “Artificial intelligence–produced video and audio can make it impossible to separate fact from fiction when deciding how to vote. Next year will bring the first presidential election of the AI deepfake era, and policymakers must be prepared to protect the democratic process from the dangers of these new technologies. A new resource in our AI and Democracy series examines the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence for electio.
• Investigating Social Media Monitoring – This week, the Brennan Center and the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission urging it to find out if social media platforms Meta and X are adequately protecting people’s privacy. Despite the companies’ pledges, evidence suggests that they may be granting third-party businesses special access to users’ online data and enabling government surveillance. The public deserves to know whether Meta and X’s anti-surveillance commitments are nothing more than empty promises.”
