In recent months, the campaign has spun up the internal task force, dubbed the “Social Media, AI, Mis/Disinformation (SAID) Legal Advisory Group,” part of a broader effort across the campaign to counter all forms of disinformation, TJ Ducklo, a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, told CNN.

Existing US election law prohibits campaigns from “fraudulently misrepresenting other candidates or political parties,” but whether this prohibition extends to AI-generated content is an open question.
Any political advertiser that uses deepfakes in ads on Facebook or Instagram will need to disclose that fact, it said.
The Meta report details how some social media platforms are grappling with how to handle deceptive uses of AI.
