Comment by Amy Klobuchar
U.S. senator from Minnesota
Right now, we're seeing AI used as a tool to influence our democracy. We need rules of the road in place to stop the use of fraudulent AI-generated content in campaign ads. [...] This commonsense, bipartisan legislation would update our laws to prohibit these deceptive ads from being used to mislead voters no matter what party they belong to.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly supports legislation to ban deceptive AI-generated content in campaign ads, describing it as prohibiting fraudulent AI-generated ads used to mislead voters. That matches the full statement’s core policy of prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media in federal election campaigns.

The quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Amy Klobuchar on her official Senate press release dated September 12, 2023; the [...] is a faithful omission of the intervening sentence about voters deserving transparency. However, the provided Susan Collins page dated April 16, 2025 does not contain this Klobuchar quote and instead quotes Collins, so the quote is real but the supplied year/source pairing is off.

Quote attributed to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (2025), lead sponsor of the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act (S.1213), reintroduced March 31, 2025 — matching the statement "[Congress, Mar 2025] Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates." The Senate press release URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the quote text ("Right now, we're seeing AI used as a tool to influence our democracy. We need rules of the road in place to stop the use of fraudulent AI-generated content in campaign ads... This commonsense, bipartisan legislation would update our laws to prohibit these deceptive ads from being used to mislead voters") was corroborated verbatim across multiple search results tied to this exact bill. Vote alignment is correct: as the bill's lead sponsor seeking to prohibit deceptive AI media of candidates, a vote of "for" accurately reflects her position. Year current (2025). (Note: this opinion replaced an outdated 2024 quote from Ishan Mehta, who left Common Cause in March 2025.) Verified.
