techcrunch.com — September 30, 2024, 12:01 AM UTC

Summary: California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed over a dozen new laws regulating artificial intelligence, totaling 18 new bills this month. These laws address issues like AI risks, privacy, and the use of AI in education and healthcare.

Key measures include requirements for AI providers to disclose training data, protections against AI-generated deepfake pornography, and regulations on AI-generated robocalls. New laws also mandate that online platforms label or remove AI deepfakes related to elections.

Notably, Newsom vetoed the controversial SB 1047 but established new standards for the media industry, requiring consent for AI replicas of actors. The laws aim to manage the growing influence of AI technologies in various sectors.
