Presidential Election,Ny Attorney General,Letitia James

Letitia James said she is particularly concerned about generative AI that is making it harder to distinguish fact from fiction.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking nearly a dozen large tech companies to take meaningful steps to protect voters from election-related misinformation, according to a letter obtained exclusively by ABC News.

Deceptive and misleading content about the 2024 presidential election has been circulating online and the attorney general is particularly concerned about generative AI that's making it hard to distinguish fact from fiction. In January, a robocall appearing to impersonate the voice of President Joe Biden has been circulating and encouraging recipients of the call to "save your vote" for the November general election, rather than participate in the New Hampshire primary, according to audio obtained by ABC News.

In February 2023, most of the technology companies mentioned James' letter signed a voluntary pact to prevent AI tools from being used to disrupt democratic elections around the world. The companies did not commit to banning or removing deepfakes. Instead they outlined methods to try to detect and label deceptive AI content when it is created or distributed on their platforms.
