Advocates responded with deep skepticism on Friday after 20 major tech companies—including Microsoft, Google, Meta, and OpenAI—signed an accord pledging to combat the proliferation of AI-generated deepfakes during elections across the globe this year. "The intentional and undisclosed generation and distribution of Deceptive AI Election content can deceive the public in ways that jeopardize the integrity of electoral processes," the accord reads, defining such content as "convincing AI-generated audio, video, and images that deceptively fake or alter the appearance, voice, or actions of political candidates, election officials, and other key stakeholders in a democratic election, or that provide false information to voters about when, where, and how they can lawfully vote." The new pact sets out "a voluntary framework of principles and actions" aimed at advancing several goals, including detection of deceptive AI content, prevention of the spread of deepfakes, and public awareness of potentially manipulated audio, video, and images.

This month, the U.Supreme Court heard argument in a pair of cases that have the potential to profoundly alter the landscape of technology regulation in the United States: Loper Bright Enterprises Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. Department of Commerce. The cases are nominally about the validity of fishing regulations, but petitioners in both cases seek to overturn a significant administrative law precedent: Chevron Natural Resources Defense Council, a 1984 opinion that obliges courts to defer to an agency's statutory construction in many circumstances.
