            ENSURING AI DEEPFAKES DON'T UNDERMINE ELECTIONS

  (Mr. LaTURNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaTURNER. Mr. Speaker, artificial intelligence is an incredible 
tool that is only becoming more accessible, powerful, and impactful.
  With all the good this emerging technology provides our society, AI 
also has its downfalls. It is easier than ever before for bad actors to 
make AI-generated deepfakes to deceive the public and spread false 
information about elected officials and political candidates. Anyone 
with a laptop can create realistic images, videos, and audio clips 
depicting events that did not occur.
  This poses a serious threat to our national security and could harm 
the integrity of our election systems.
  As a member of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and 
Foreign Affairs, I will continue to work to ensure AI-generated 
deepfakes are not undermining our local, State, and Federal elections.
