Senate committee tackles AI and elections to protect democracy

The Senate Committee on Elections and Constitutional Amendments convened recently to discuss three bills on their agenda. The meeting began with the establishment of a quorum, confirming the presence of several senators, including Blakesphere, When, Mangivar, and Umberg.

Before diving into the bill presentations, the committee announced an upcoming informational hearing titled \"Artificial Intelligence and Elections: Protecting Democracy in the Digital Era.\" This session is scheduled to commence at 10 AM or immediately following the adjournment of the current committee hearing.

The committee plans to address the bills once the authors are present, indicating a structured approach to legislative discussions.
