Ley 105-2026 amends Puerto Rico's Political Campaign Oversight Act (Ley 222-2011) and Electoral Code (Ley 58-2020) to define "Inteligencia Artificial", including generative AI capable of producing text, image, audio, or video, and to require that any political advertisement or electoral communication created or modified, in whole or in part, using AI carry a clear, visible disclosure that it was produced or altered with AI; a radio or other audiovisual communication must also make the disclosure as a spoken statement.
It further makes it a misdemeanor, on a second or later occasion, for any person to maliciously submit AI-generated or AI-altered false data, documents, or images to an electronic system operated by the Comisión Estatal de Elecciones without a clear, legible notice. Approved on June 10, 2026 and effective immediately on approval, with no separate vacatio legis period.
