Our democracy is under threat.

AI and Deepfakes are being used to spread misinformation and disinformation and mislead voters.

We’ve seen generative AI being used around the world to try and influence elections.

Australians should be able to decide how to vote on the basis of facts, not fakes.

Currently in Australia there are no laws against using AI in elections, or for that matter telling lies or spreading misinformation. 

The Australian Electoral Commissioner has said “The AEC does not possess the legislative tools or internal technical capability to deter, detect or then adequately deal with false AI-generated content concerning the election process.”

We are calling on Minister Farrell to legislate a ban on the use of deepfakes in elections before the next federal election.
