Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch ordered Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom to remove an AI-generated deepfake video of Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith from social media for potentially violating state law prohibiting deceptive digital content in elections within 90 days of voting.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to treat AI-generated political content as a legal risk if you operate in US electoral campaigns because states are enforcing deepfake laws that can trigger criminal charges and court injunctions rapidly.
