Artificial Intelligence and New Regulations
Governor Gavin Newsom is taking a firm stand against the misuse of artificial intelligence technologies, particularly focusing on deep fakes. This move aims to safeguard the integrity of political campaigns as California approaches the critical 2024 elections.
Key Details of the Legislation
- Creation and publication of deep fakes related to elections are now illegal within 120 days before Election Day and 60 days after.
- The law grants courts authority to halt the distribution of misleading materials.
- Civil penalties will also be imposed on offenders, reinforcing the seriousness of violating these new regulations.
