The reports must address specific AI-enabled risk categories including deepfakes, voice cloning, foreign election interference, synthetic identities, false market signals, and overall digital fraud. Consultation with the U.S. Trade Representative, Attorney General, Federal Reserve Chair, NIST Director, and Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security is required.
