Blackburn demands dark money group take down AI attack ad
U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn is threatening legal action against the American Exceptionalism Institute PAC for an AI-generated attack ad accusing her of accepting bribes to pass legislation. Blackburn demands the ad be removed and AI use disclosed under a new state law, as the PAC has been terminated and has not filed recent disclosures. The ad references a 2016 law Blackburn sponsored, which a joint investigation linked to the opioid epidemic.
