California considers multiple AI regulation bills

California's AI Regulation Push

Governor Gavin Newsom of California faces decisions on multiple AI-related bills by September 30. These bills cover a range of topics including autonomous vehicles, deepfakes, and AI-generated content in elections.

  • A.B. 1777 requires self-driving vehicle companies to provide emergency hotlines.
  • S.B. 942 mandates AI companies to offer free deepfake detection tools.
  • A.B. 2655 aims to block misleading political deepfakes before elections.
  • A.B. 2355 requires disclosure of AI use in political advertisements.

California's proactive approach to AI regulation contrasts with the lack of federal legislation. Meanwhile, an NYU report challenges tech companies' claims, linking social media to political violence.

Major tech companies need to do better. Rather than retreat from modest reforms made in the recent past, they should be intensifying efforts to protect against political threats and incitement to violence.
