Wisconsin lawmakers consider regulating AI use in elections and as a way to reduce state workforce

Wisconsin lawmakers were set to take their first floor votes Thursday on legislation to regulate artificial intelligence, joining a growing number of states grappling with how to control the technology as November's elections loom. The first is a bipartisan measure to require political candidates and groups to include disclaimers in ads that use AI technology. The second bill is a Republican-authored proposal to launch an audit of how state agencies use AI and require agencies to research how AI could be used to reduce the size of the state government workforce.
