Newsom Signs Laws Aimed at AI to Protect Actors & Elections

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed groundbreaking legislation to protect actors from unauthorized digital replication and to combat the use of deepfakes in election ads. The new laws mandate clear contracts for AI-generated digital replicas of performers, ensuring that actors are fairly represented in negotiations. This move comes amid rising concerns about AI in the entertainment industry, highlighted by the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year. Furthermore, Newsom addressed the political misuse of AI, signing measures that outlaw deepfake election ads 120 days before and 60 days after Election Day. These steps aim to maintain public trust amidst rising AI-generated disinformation. The Justice Department has highlighted the potential for AI to be exploited by malicious actors, making these measures crucial for election integrity.
