AI Fraud Deterrence Act

This bill would set higher maximum federal penalties for mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering when the crime is committed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). It would also raise the top fine for certain existing mail and wire fraud cases from $1 million to $2 million. The bill would make it a crime to pretend to be a federal officer or employee using AI, with fines of up to $1 million or up to 3 years in prison. It states that this does not limit AI use in satire, parody, or other protected speech if the content clearly says it is not authentic. AI would be defined using an existing federal law.
