Schiff also emphasized that Democrats should continue pushing a legislative agenda that focuses on making our economy work for all Americans.\n\nSchiff, in conversation with POLITICO’s Dasha Burns, highlighted how Trump and Republicans represent the failed status quo as Americans are facing higher prices on their watch as a result.\n\nView the full interview here.\n\nKey Excerpts:\n\nOn Republicans and President Trump owning the status quo:\n\n[…] Donald Trump, Mike Johnson represent an ugly status quo. A status quo in which people can’t afford the price of gasoline, they can’t afford the price of housing, they can’t afford childcare. We’re involved in yet another foreign war that the president doesn’t know what to do about. They are the status quo.\n\nAnd much as they try to change the topic and make a handful of Democrats the subject, I don’t think it’s going to work because people are asking themselves, “Is my life better? Did the president and Republicans keep their word?” And the answer is no. The president promised he would keep us out of foreign wars. He promised he would address rising prices. And what has he done? In addition to getting us involved in this terrible war, he has told the country that the cost-of-living affordability is a hoax.\n\nOn building an economy that works for everyone as AI transforms the economy:\n\n[…] What most Americans really have on their minds, and that is, they’re working their ass off, and they’re still struggling to get by. They feel very little security in their retirement. They are afraid of getting sick because their health insurance isn’t going to cut it. They are terrified.\n\n[…] We are in the midst of another transformation. I think it is the fault of policymakers that we have not adapted to a workplace that is so different than the workplace my parents worked in. Where so many people stayed with the same company their whole career and had health care and retirement through their work. And we’re going to have to, with the advent of AI, think even more broadly now about how do we ensure that people have gained full employment and dignified employment and secure retirement. What does that look like in the era of AI and globalization and automation? So, this is, I think, going to be the cardinal challenge for both parties. And I’d like to see the Democratic Party leading the way.\n\nOn taxing the ultra-wealthy and making the tax code fairer for working Americans:\n\n[…] There should be a wealth tax at the federal level. There should be a much more progressive tax code than the one we have. And one thing that has become so abundantly clear is this concentration of wealth we see now is operating to perpetuate itself. And you have individuals now that have such a massive say in our electoral process that they can pour hundreds of millions of dollars into a single campaign if they choose to. We have a broken campaign finance system that allows them to do that.\n\nAnd I think if we don’t bring determination to solving that problem, also, this income inequality, wealth inequality gap is just going to get worse. And it is, I also think, deeply destabilizing. The combination of the disruption of the workforce through AI, the vast concentration, and the arrogant use of wealth by some who have amassed it, is going to be hugely disruptive for society. It’s bad economics. I think it’s immoral, and I’m working on federal solutions to try to address that.\n\n###","url":"https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-sen-schiff-says-trump-owns-status-quo-while-democrats-are-focused-on-affordability-at-politico-california-summit/","published_at":"2026-08-19","ai_topics":["jobs"],"ai_stance":"support","ai_summary":"Argues policymakers must act to ensure dignified employment and retirement security as AI, automation, and concentrated wealth disrupt the workforce.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"401edef439f894ef","politician_id":"S001150","type":"press_release","content":"Washington D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) penned an op-ed in The Sacramento Bee on how California’s recent primary elections should serve as a warning sign on the proliferation of AI-generated political campaign advertising, as well as political ads posted by paid influencers.\n\nIn the piece, Senator Schiff asserts that current guardrails around campaign advertisements are not keeping up with the changing landscape of technology-empowered political speech, and he lays out his remedy to the problem. Schiff recently introduced two bills, the AI Ads Act to tamp down on fraudulent AI-generated campaign ads, and the PAID Act to require influencers to publicly disclose when they’re paid to post by a candidate or political committee.\n\n“We count on voters to make sense of political speech, to evaluate it and to make their decisions at the ballot box. But what happens when the line between fact and fiction is so obscured by modern technology that Americans are not able to believe their own eyes or ears? When voters cannot determine who put out such statements, who is paying for them and who is soliciting their contributions? Current legislation around campaign advertisements is not keeping up with the changing landscape of technology-empowered political speech,” wrote the Senator.\n\nRead the full op-ed here and below:\n\nThe Sacramento Bee: Sen. Adam Schiff explains bills aimed at combating deepfakes, paid ads\n\nBy: U.S. Senator Adam Schiff\n\nThis election season, California has seen an onslaught of campaign advertising made possible by artificial intelligence and a growing influencer economy. Some of it is clever, creative and ingenious. But some of it is just plain fraudulent.\n\nPolitical ads have cropped up showing completely AI-generated scenes. Viral online videos can now utilize a candidates’ name, image, voice and likeness to parody their positions, or to blatantly misrepresent the content as coming from their opponents. Online influencers have found a growing niche in the ability to reach the voters who trust them, but that trust has not always been matched by disclosure or transparency.\n\nWe count on voters to make sense of political speech, to evaluate it and to make their decisions at the ballot box. But what happens when the line between fact and fiction is so obscured by modern technology that Americans are not able to believe their own eyes or ears? When voters cannot determine who put out such statements, who is paying for them and who is soliciting their contributions?\n\nCurrent legislation around campaign advertisements is not keeping up with the changing landscape of technology-empowered political speech. This is why I recently introduced two pieces of legislation designed to address the issue in federal campaigns.\n\nFraudulent misrepresentation\n\nThe AI Ads Act would expand on existing law that prohibits fraudulent misrepresentation of political candidates or committees to content generated by AI, regardless of the extent of the damage.\n\nThis would attack the worst kind of abuses, such as when an individual or organization solicits funds by fraudulently representing themselves as someone else, or when they use another person’s image, likeness and voice to defraud you into believing the advertisement or statement was put out by someone else. The bill would also codify bipartisan recommendations of the Federal Election Commission. Proving fraud is a high bar, and it should be.\n\nIn California’s gubernatorial race and Los Angeles’ mayoral primary campaign, we saw AI-generated videos posted by candidates Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt. These videos would not be banned under my legislation, because they don’t purport to have been put out by their opponents’ campaigns or to reflect actual footage of them. Parody has been a staple of campaign advertising since America had its first political campaigns, and nothing in my bill changes that.\n\nOur First Amendment protects a broad swath of political speech even when we do","url":"https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-in-new-sacramento-bee-op-ed-sen-schiff-calls-for-new-guardrails-on-fraudulent-ai-use-ad-transparency-in-political-campaigning/","published_at":"2026-08-18","ai_topics":["deepfakes","regulation","transparency"],"ai_stance":"support","ai_summary":"Schiff calls for new federal guardrails via his AI Ads Act and PAID Act to bar fraudulent AI-generated campaign ads and require paid-influencer disclosure while protecting parody and political speech.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"32e58e9f6845a33d","politician_id":"S001150","type":"press_release","content":"Washington, D.C. – The Senate Commerce Committee advanced a bipartisan series of kids’ online safety bills including the Children’s Health, Advancement, Trust, Boundaries, and Oversight in Technology (CHATBOT) Act, which is led by U.S. Senators Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Brian Schatz (D-Hawai’i), and John Curtis (R-Utah).\n\nThe CHATBOT Act, which passed out of committee last week, contained several key provisions from Senators Schiff and Curtis’ bipartisan SAFE KIDS Actand is aimed at protecting children from the risks and harms associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, amid kids’ growing reliance on AI chatbots for emotional support and companionship.\n\n“It is essential that we institute commonsense guardrails on the use of AI chatbots by children and teenagers and empower parents’ ability to protect their kids,” said Senator Schiff. “In California and across the country, we have seen firsthand the tragic consequences of quickly evolving AI chatbots which, in the worst cases, have encouraged self-harm, emotional dependency, violence, and exploitation of the youngest Americans. This moment demands action to protect children’s health and safety online, and I’m glad that the Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation I introduced with Senators Cruz, Schatz, and Curtis as a first step towards that goal.”\n\n“As we all know, the digital world is changing faster than parents can keep up with it. And our kids are growing up in an online environment that barely existed a few years ago. The bills we advanced are an important step toward giving families the tools and transparency they need to keep their kids safe,” said Senator Curtis. “I’m especially proud to be a lead cosponsor of the CHATBOT Act with Chairman Cruz and Senators Schatz and Schiff. Chairman Cruz was collaborative throughout this process and incorporated several ideas Senator Schiff and I advanced in our SAFE KIDS Act.”\n\nThe provisions adopted from the SAFE KIDS Act include:\n\nRequiring AI chatbots to provide regular, clear disclosures reminding users that they are interacting with artificial intelligence—not a real person;\n\nProhibiting AI chatbot providers from materially assisting a minor in planning or attempting suicide;\n\nProhibiting AI chatbot providers from providing obscene material to minors; and\n\nRequiring AI chatbot providers to notify a parent or guardian, as soon as feasibly possible, if a minor asks about committing suicide, while also directing the minor to external crisis resources.\n\nBackground: As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Schiff has worked to elevate the importance of protecting children online and addressing chatbot risks.\n\nFollowing the tragic death last year of Adam Raine, a 16-year-old from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, who took his own life after months of conversations with an AI chatbot, Schiff and U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) urged the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to address the full range of risks and potential harms that AI chatbots pose to American children and teenagers.\n\nLast year, Schiff and the Judiciary Committee held a hearing examining the legal gaps in protecting children on the internet with testimony from industry and academic experts\n\n###","url":"https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/news-u-s-senate-advances-schiff-led-kids-chatbot-safety-legislation/","published_at":"2026-08-10","ai_topics":["children","safety","regulation","transparency","liability"],"ai_stance":"support","ai_summary":"Schiff celebrates committee advancement of the bipartisan CHATBOT Act imposing commonsense guardrails on AI chatbots to protect children from self-harm and exploitation.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"7e7ebeb2ff088406","politician_id":"S001150","type":"press_release","content":"Washington, D.C. – This week, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and other Senate Democratic colleagues in pressing the Trump administration for answers about its unpredictable oversight of frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models and its opaque standards for evaluating a model’s national security risk. The letter follows the Trump administration’s recent haphazard responses to frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI and comes as basic questions surround the implementation of Executive Order 14409, the White House’s voluntary pre-release review framework for frontier models.\n\nIn the letter, the Senators expressed their support for maintaining the United States’ competitive lead in AI development while protecting the country from serious national security risks. However, they stressed that continued reliance on ad hoc, case-by-case regulation will not sufficiently address the cybersecurity and other risks frontier AI models pose. The Senators also warned that without consistent policy governing American models, consumers and businesses would be incentivized to migrate to models from foreign vendors, including those based in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).\n\n“Last month provided a dramatic example of these potential risks. During an internal evaluation, OpenAI models escaped their testing environment and used high-level technical capabilities to compromise a third party’s network without any instructions to take those actions. The Federal Government cannot be passive as these capabilities emerge. At the same time, the administration’s recent actions surrounding access to advanced U.S. AI models have raised serious concerns about process, transparency, and strategic effect. On June 12, 2026, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) utilized an infrequently used authority to direct Anthropic to suspend all access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals (including foreign national employees inside the United States) citing an undisclosed national security concern later described as a narrow jailbreak finding. Because the directive took effect immediately and Anthropic had no reliable way to verify users’ nationality in real time, the company was forced to disable both models for all users worldwide within hours. Over the following eighteen days, the Department and Anthropic negotiated a resolution outside of public view: a partial restoration of Mythos 5 to a defined set of trusted partners on June 26, followed by a full lifting of the export controls on June 30,” the Senators wrote.\n\nThe Senators continued, “While the Administration may have been responding to real security concerns to protect the United States, even justifiable interventions can create broader harm if the standards and decision-making processes are opaque, ad hoc, or unpredictable. Moreover, when the Executive Branch exercises authority delegated from Congress, such as in the conduct of export control administration, it is essential that it keep Congress fully apprised of its actions and procedures.”\n\nThe Senators concluded the letter with a list of areas of clarification that will bring transparency to the public processes and standards the administration uses to deem frontier AI models a national security risk, the legal authorities the administration relies on to restrict access to AI models, and the administration’s assessment of whether its oversight strategy could incentive adoption of Chinese or other non-U.S. AI models.\n\n“We support serious, technically informed action to prevent frontier AI from being misused by adversaries or criminals and to mitigate risks posed by misalignment in the models themselves. The United States cannot afford to create a policy environment in which the most advanced American AI systems are subject to opaque, case-by-case restrictions while Chinese alternatives appear cheaper, easier to access, and more predictable to deploy.

Schiff first introduced this legislation in the 118th Congress while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.\n\n“AI-generated fraudulent advertising which uses the likeness or voices of candidates to misrepresent their positions, campaigns, or causes, or otherwise misrepresents a candidate’s point of view is not only wrong – it poses a serious threat to our democracy that should concern all Americans regardless of their party,” said Senator Schiff. “Fraudulent AI advertising has already proliferated in races across the country, and if Congress does not act, this runaway challenge will only get worse as AI becomes increasingly capable of blurring the lines between fact and fiction. With November elections around the corner, time is of the essence to reign in false political advertising.”\n\n“AI will transform our lives and our society in many ways, but it can’t be used to mislead voters or undermine our democracy. I’m proud to lead the AI Ads Act with Senator Schiff to ban AI-generated content that deceives the public about candidates or elections,” said Congressman Khanna.\n\nSpecifically, the AI Ads Act would:\n\nExtend the prohibition of fraudulent misrepresentation, for solicitation of funds or otherwise, to content generated in whole or in part by AI;\n\nRevise the prohibitions on fraudulent misrepresentation of campaign authority to encompass all persons purporting to act on behalf of candidates and real or fictitious political committees and political organizations; and\n\nRemove the requirement that the fraudulent misrepresentation must pertain to a matter that is “damaging” to another candidate or political party.\n\nThis bill is supported by Campaign Legal Center, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Common Cause, Protect Democracy, and Public Citizen.\n\n“Deceptive AI content online can manipulate voters, which is why we need this commonsense bill to ban AI ads that misrepresent candidates,” said Abigail Bellows, Senior Policy Director for Anti-Corruption & Accountability, Common Cause. “This legislation will ensure new technology doesn’t outpace election transparency.”\n\n“Deep Fakes in campaign ads — in which Artificial Intelligence is used to produce computer-fabricated videos or voices of candidates doing or saying something they never did — has become a serious and deceptive problem in federal, state and local elections,” said Craig Holman, Ph.D., Public Citizen. “Some 30 states have passed laws to protect the conduct of state elections from such deceptive practices. It is well past time that Congress approve similar legislation to protect federal elections as well. Sen. Schiff is proposing to do precisely that with the “AI Ads Act,” which Public Citizen earnestly supports.”\n\n“The advancement of AI technology has created new challenges and threats to our democracy. As this technology continues to evolve, we must counter these threats and regulate the improper use of AI in our elections,” said Debra Perlin, Vice President for Policy, CREW. “CREW is proud to endorse the AI Ads Act introduced by Senator Schiff and Representative Khanna, which would help protect against the potential use of AI to confuse or mislead voters.”\n\nThe full text of the legislation is available here.\n\nTo read the FEC recommendations, click here.\n\n###","url":"https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/news-sen-schiff-rep-khanna-reintroduce-landmark-bill-to-combat-fraudulent-ai-generated-campaign-ads/","published_at":"2026-07-27","ai_topics":["deepfakes","regulation","transparency"],"ai_stance":"support","ai_summary":"Schiff and Khanna would ban fraudulent AI-generated misrepresentation of candidates in campaign ads to protect elections.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"5f3627110e33ecb2","politician_id":"S001150","type":"press_release","content":"Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.), and Representatives Bob Latta (R-Ohio-5) and George Whitesides (D-Calif.-27) are introducing new bipartisan legislation to enhance the ability for AI labs and security researchers to combat distillation attacks from foreign adversaries and other frontier AI risks that pose a national security risk to the U.S.\n\nThe Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act would allow for increased information sharing between industry and stakeholder groups to share information about AI security threats and coordinate their responses with other model developers. It includes strict guardrails, including protection against anti-competitive behavior, and permits the Attorney General to seek an injunction against non-Federal entities that abuse the exemption.\n\nDuring distillation attacks, foreign labs systematically harvest data from U.S. AI models to produce their own advanced AI models at a fraction of the cost, posing an enormous threat to continued U.S. leadership and investment in developing the most powerful and efficient AI models and staying ahead of foreign competition. With the rise of AI, foreign labs have increasingly attacked proprietary models with millions of queries and use the resulting data to train rival, foreign-based systems, essentially reverse-engineering American technology at a lower cost and with less strain on valuable computational resources.\n\n“We cannot allow China, or any foreign adversary, to steal American technological advancements in AI, and then weaponize those advances to undermine our own national security,” said Senator Schiff. “The solution we are proposing would protect against AI distillation attacks and other security risks by allowing increased information-sharing among U.S. AI labs to counter the threat of foreign theft. As new AI innovations are developing faster than ever, it’s critical that Republicans and Democrats continue to work together to address potential misuse of AI development by hostile actors at home and abroad.”\n\n“The AI race is one that America can’t afford to lose. Communist China is working every day to steal our technology and close the gap with the United States,” said Senator Banks. “American AI companies must be able to collaboratively defend against our adversaries. This bill gives them the tools to protect America’s technological edge and helps ensure we maintain our competitive edge.”\n\n“Protecting the American people means ensuring the systems they rely on every day, including our hospitals, water systems, and electric grid, remain safe, secure, and reliable,” said Congressman Latta. “Our adversaries are constantly looking for new ways to target our critical infrastructure, and we must make sure we are prepared to respond. This bipartisan legislation, which I am proud to lead alongside Senators Schiff and Banks and Rep. Whitesides will help strengthen collaboration between American companies and ensure that when a threat is identified, we can quickly share information and take action to protect our communities. Our adversaries are working together to undermine us, and we must work together to defend America.”\n\n“As the Representative for a district at the heart of California’s aerospace and technology industry, I’ve seen firsthand how vital American innovation is to our national security. But as AI models grow exponentially more capable, the risk of these systems being exploited or weaponized poses a direct threat to public safety,” said Congressman Whitesides. “By authorizing threat intelligence sharing to defend against hostile foreign attacks, this bipartisan bill prevents our technology from being turned against us. Safeguarding our technological edge isn’t a partisan issue, and I’m proud to help lead this effort to keep America safe.”\n\nSpecifically, the Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act would create a statutory exemption that allows non-Federal
