People have leveraged AI to generate deep fake videos. One type of AI generated material became the focus of California lawmakers. Governor Gavin Newson signed a law aimed at cracking down on AI generated deep fake political videos. Elon Musk responded by sharing a parody video along with his comments. Videos with disclosures appear to be exempted.<\/p>\n

From Forbes:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While speaking with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff on stage at the company’s “Dreamforce” AI convention Tuesday, Newsom signed three bills targeting deepfakes in political ads.<\/p>\n

Assembly Bill 2839, which goes into effect immediately, makes it illegal to distribute “materially deceptive audio or visual media of a candidate” 120 days before an election and in some cases, 60 days after.<\/p>\n

The law allows candidates to seek a court order to pull down any deepfake ads and also sue the person who distributed them–although parody and satire that includes a disclosure are exempted.<\/p>\n

Assembly Bill 2655, which will go into effect next year, requires online platforms like X and Facebook to take down such political deepfakes and Assembly Bill 2355 requires campaigns to make a public disclosure if they run ads with AI-generated or altered visuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
