Republican uses AI to write legislation regulating deep fakes

An Arizona Republican got caught using the artificial intelligence site ChatGPT to craft legislation about the technology used to craft so-called deepfake videos, NBC News reported.

State Rep. Alex Kolodin needed help crafting the definition of “digital impersonation” for a new law that would regulate false videos of people saying or doing things that never occurred.

“I used it to write the part of the bill that had to do with defining what a deepfake was,” Kolodin said of the move.
