As for the effect on the use of newer generative AI tools, this isn’t an election protection act; it’s an incumbent protection act.

Quote: "As for the effect on the use of newer generative AI tools, this isn't an election protection act; it's an incumbent protection act." — Neil Chilson, 2023. The source_url is a PDF on rules.senate.gov (the official Senate Rules Committee testimony) which returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. A web search confirmed the content: in his Senate testimony "The Integral Role of AI Tools in Modern Political Discourse" (Sept 2023), Chilson characterized the proposed deepfake legislation as "an incumbent protection act" rather than "an election protection act," arguing the bill restricts affordable AI content creation and disadvantages new/underfunded candidates. Author attribution correct (Chilson, AI policy expert; in 2023 at the Center for Growth and Opportunity, now Abundance Institute). Vote alignment correct: statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates," vote "against," matching his opposition. Year note: quote is 2023; his most recent (April 2025) testimony is on a different topic (American AI Moonshot), so no relevant 2025/2026 replacement exists for this statement. Verified on confirmation of the quote substance and correct attribution/vote; the official source PDF blocks automated fetching.
