LWV Chaffee County LWV Chaffee County (LWVCC) Monday, September 9 LWV Chaffee County Artificial Intelligence. How does it work? What are the possibilities and threats? How should we understand it in the context of our elections? The panel, “Artificial Intelligence in Elections,” will feature Colorado House District 27 Representative Brianna Titone (D), to present AI-related legislation passed in the 2024 legislative session. Chair of the State General Assembly Joint Technology Committee, Titone was a primary sponsor of legislation requiring political candidates to clearly label advertisements that feature content generated by AI (HB24-1147). She was also a lead House sponsor of successful bill (SB24-205) establishing consumer protections for AI. Dr. Dan Bishop, retired professor, CSU, will join Titone to provide a primer on AI: Development, advances, and risks. Kate Shea, LWVCC Treasurer and the AI program planner, noted that exploring this topic aligns with the League’s goal of empowering voters to make informed decisions. Understanding the complex and evolving topic of AI and sharpening our ability to recognize disinformation from deepfakes is important to voter decision making. Q&A will follow.
