Colorado Politics: A panel of House legislators on Monday considered several bills that sponsors say will protect the integrity of this year’s elections, as well as future ones.

Notably, lawmakers are targeting AI-generated content, arguing that, used improperly, the new technology poses a “threat to free and fair elections.”

The House State, Civic, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee advanced the measure on party line 8-3 vote.

One such bill, House Bill 1147, seeks to regulate the use of content generated by artificial intelligence, such as “deepfakes,” in communications about election candidates.
