Political ads and deepfakes
Does Alaska regulate AI in political ads?
No. As of October 5, 2026, Alaska has no state law that specifically regulates artificial intelligence or deepfakes in political ads or election communications. Alaska has not enacted any law on AI or synthetic media in political ads. A Senate-passed version of SB 64 (May 2025) would have barred knowingly using synthetic media in an electioneering communication to influence an election, but the House removed it, and the final SB 64 was vetoed on April 29, 2026 with the veto sustained. SB 2 and SB 33, both election deepfake bills, never left committee before the 34th Legislature adjourned in May 2026. General law still applies: AS 15.56.014 makes knowingly false, damaging factual claims about a candidate in a communication a class B misdemeanor.
No AI disclaimer is required by Alaska statute. Ads still need Alaska's standard paid-for-by disclosures, and a deepfake that defames a candidate or misleads voters about how to vote can still create liability under general law and federal rules. If your ad also runs in a neighboring state's media market, that state's AI law can apply.
Bills to watch
SB 64 (2025 to 2026): Elections omnibus; Senate version added AS 15.80.009 (synthetic media in electioneering communications). Synthetic media section removed in House; final bill vetoed April 29, 2026, veto sustained
SB 2 (2025 to 2026): AI, deepfakes, cybersecurity, data transfers (disclosure of election-related deepfakes). Died in Senate State Affairs; session ended May 2026
SB 33 (2025 to 2026): Synthetic media: liability; elections (defamation claims and synthetic media in electioneering communications). Died in Senate State Affairs; session ended May 2026
For campaigns and consultants
Before an AI ad runs in Alaska
There is no AI disclaimer rule, but Alaska's paid-for-by rules (AS 15.13.090) still apply to every communication, including AI-made ones.
Do not use AI to put false factual claims in a candidate's mouth: knowingly false, reputation-damaging statements about a candidate in a communication are campaign misconduct (AS 15.56.014).
Expect the Legislature to revisit deepfake disclosure in 2027; the Senate already passed a ban once.
Federal rules still apply to AI voice calls (TCPA).
AI voice calls and texts
Can a campaign use AI voice calls in Alaska?
Alaska has no AI-specific calling rule. Its ban on automated or recorded telephone solicitations (AS 45.50.475) excludes calls limited to soliciting the expression of ideas, opinions or votes, so political robocalls fall outside it. But AS 15.56.025 makes it a class A misdemeanor to knowingly make a false statement about a candidate as part of an organized telephone poll or series of calls to persuade voters, with intent to affect the election, which covers AI-voiced calls as much as human ones.

Notes
Pure voter-persuasion and GOTV robocalls are excluded, but a recorded call that asks for a campaign donation may not fit the ideas-opinions-votes exclusion; get counsel before using recorded or AI voice fundraising calls.
Federal floor everywhere: AI-generated voices are “artificial” voices under the TCPA (FCC, February 2024), so they need prior express consent to cell phones and must identify the caller at the start of the call. AI robocall laws in every state
Federal layer
Federal rules that apply in Alaska
At the federal level, the binding rules that hit AI in campaigns today are the TCPA and FCC robocall rules, not any AI-specific election law. Since February 2024 the FCC treats AI-generated voices as "artificial" voices, so AI voice calls to cell phones need prior express consent (political calls included), AI or prerecorded political calls to landlines are limited to three per 30 days without consent, and every such message must identify the caller, give a callback number and offer an opt-out. The FEC says its existing fraudulent misrepresentation ban covers AI, but it has had no quorum since April 2025 and cannot enforce. Proposed FCC rules on AI disclosure in broadcast political ads and in AI calls were never adopted, and no federal AI political ad disclaimer bill has passed. Federal efforts to preempt state AI laws (a 2025 moratorium the Senate struck 99 to 1, and Executive Order 14365) have not displaced any state election or robocall law as of October 2026.
