NY Attorney General releases updated guide on AI-generated election misinformation

The New York Attorney General's Office issued an updated guide to help voters identify and report AI‑generated election misinformation ahead of the November 3, 2026 general election. The guide advises checking official sources, not relying on chatbots for voting information, and filing complaints about undisclosed AI‑manipulated content. Under New York law, political communications that use AI‑generated media must be clearly labeled as manipulated.

Why it matters: The guidance addresses the growing risk of AI‑generated election misinformation and outlines steps for voters to verify information and report violations.
