Bipartisan lawmakers Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) are urging four federal agencies to address election-integrity threats from artificial intelligence, particularly the spread of inaccurate or biased information. In a letter sent Tuesday, they call for monitoring and mitigation capabilities, as well as deeper engagement with major AI companies on safety testing and bias identification.
