The bill S.23 addresses the use of synthetic media in elections, specifically focusing on the regulation of deceptive and fraudulent synthetic media. It introduces new definitions for "deceptive and fraudulent synthetic media," which is defined as synthetic media that misrepresents an individual in a way that harms a political candidate's reputation or attempts to unduly influence election outcomes through materially false information. Additionally, "synthetic media" is defined as any image, audio, or video that has been digitally created or manipulated, including through artificial intelligence.

The bill also outlines specific disclosure requirements for deceptive and fraudulent synthetic media. For images and video recordings, disclosures must be easily readable and accessible to individuals with disabilities, remaining visible for the entire duration of the video. For audio recordings, disclosures must be clearly spoken and presented at the beginning and end of the recording, as well as at intervals within longer recordings. The bill emphasizes inclusivity for individuals with disabilities in all disclosures, ensuring that the information is accessible to a broad audience.
