Staff: Zachary Norton, Senior Commission Counsel. Staff proposes adoption of Regulation 18450.12 to add language clarifying the circumstances under which disclosure is required in campaign advisements that have been created or modified using AI, as well as amendments to Regulation 18401 to make explicit that recordkeeping requirements extend to all committee advertisements, and includes a requirement to maintain copies of any original versions of materials used to create advertisements that have been modified using AI. The proposed amendments are presented for pre-notice discussion and feedback, with potential adoption to occur at the June Commission meeting.
