Floridians using AI deepfakes to āprankā police are already breaking the law. Filing a false report (Ā§817.49) and giving false information to law enforcement (Ā§837.05) donāt have a ābut it was AI-generatedā exception. The technology might be new, but the crime isnāt.
Deep Fake AI videos depicting crimes that never occurred are circulating on social media.
In some of these videos, pranksters approach law enforcement officers to āreportā a crime and show video evidence of that crime ā made by AI.
To be clear: Creating and sharing AI-generated ādeepfakeā videos that depict criminal activity is not a harmless prank. And if you show it to law enforcement, you can be arrested for making a false report.
Using AI to spread misinformation isnāt entertainment. In fact, it can be a crime.

3.8 million Floridians go to work every day for a small employer. A lot of them are keeping the lights on because of the platforms AICOA would kneecap.

It's long been apparent in this country that we were not producing enough skilled labor.
Far from the doom and gloom expectations of eliminating jobs, the AI revolution is not only forcing us to confront the skills gap... companies like Meta are investing to close it! Awesome.
Today @Meta is proud to launch Americaās Workforce Academy with our partners.
This program will provide paid training, certification and a job for Americans of all backgrounds to be part of building American leadership in the world.
Because we believe the Future is for Everyone.

Few historians have done more to make the Founding legible to ordinary Americans, and to remind them why it mattered

One of the best historians on the American Revolution and creation of the republic. RIP.

Got to sit down with @AjitPai at this weekās @JmsMadisonInst Tech Summit. Few people have shaped telecom policy more, and fewer still can explain it this well!

Florida has a choice: lead on tech or get out of the way of the states that will. @TPFabricio gets it. Good conversation at the @JmsMadisonInst Tech Summit.

Busy and productive day serving Florida.
This morning, I joined the @JmsMadisonInst Technology Summit to discuss innovation, AI, and Floridaās future. Later, I debated the benefits of cutting property taxes and giving Florida homeowners real relief.
Lower taxes. More freedom. A stronger Florida.

Another politician rails against data centers and AI while running their campaign on both. The self-awareness gap is a wonder of modern infrastructure.

Laying off 3,000 people because your stock is down 38%? Boring. Laying off 3,000 people because of AI? Now youāre a visionary. @Intuit @AndrewYang
Intuit is laying off 3,000 workers - cites AI as a big reason why.

"A regulatory choke point designed with the best of intentions today will inevitably become a tool of political power for the administration that inherits it tomorrow."

My hope is you realize this is King Charles visiting Virginia (NOT West Virginia) and the accompanying song confirms that āCountry Roadsā is indeed about the Old Dominion State (only way the lyrics make sense)!

Perhaps invoking Epsteinās victims to lobby Florida legislators was slightly counterproductive. Just a thought?
Governor @GovRonDeSantis has pushed for action.
Now Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL says the House will NOT take up AI protections for kids!
Florida families deserve answers!

Invoking Jeffrey Epstein to push an AI Bill of Rights isnāt advocacy, itās emotional manipulation. Whatever side of the debate you are on, Floridaās lawmakers deserve better than this.
This week, Florida legislators must decide: will they protect our children, or the 'Digital Epsteins' of Big Tech? We are demanding the accountability every American home deserves.
Tell your reps: The time for sensible safeguards is now.

Airlines take a beating on here, so let me be the exception. Huge thanks to @AmericanAir. Took our 5 month old daughter on her first flight this week, and the staff across the board, check-in, lounge, gate, air crew, made every effort to make it seamless.

šŖšŗ| Europe will require all mobile phones to be sold with user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries starting 2027.
The regulation demands the availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence.
As per the USB-C ruling, Europe is a giant that can change markets to put European consumersā needs first.

$10B a year and weapons get through airport checkpoints. @RonDeSantis is right: hand airport security to the private sector, where failure has consequences. In Washington, it just gets a bigger budget.

Is there evidence that creating TSA has made air travel safer over the past 25 years?
If not, then why not let the airlines and airports handle it?
Why give politicians the power to play games with the travel of our people?

The White House released its National AI framework today. Congress can either build on that, or close Americaās competitive window faster than any foreign rival. @JmsMadisonInst @WHOSTP
