          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Require the Exposure of AI-Led Political Advertisements Act or the REAL Political Advertisements Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill expands certain disclosure and disclaimer requirements for political campaigns, including by requiring disclaimers on advertisements containing content generated by artificial intelligence (AI).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill requires a communication (e.g., a political advertisement) to include, in a clear and conspicuous manner, a statement if the communication contains an image or video footage that was generated in whole or in part with the use of AI. The bill outlines the requirements for determining a clear and conspicuous manner as it applies to specified communications (e.g., text or video communications).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill directs the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to issue a regulation related to generative AI, including the criteria for determining whether an advertisement contains an image or video footage created through generative AI.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also requires reporting to the FEC of paid internet or digital communications.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
