Lawmakers approved legislation to ban deepfakes related to elections and require large social media platforms to remove the deceptive material 120 days before Election Day and 60 days thereafter. Campaigns also would be required to publicly disclose if they’re running ads with materials altered by AI.
A pair of proposals would make it illegal to use AI tools to create images and videos of child sexual abuse. Current law does not allow district attorneys to go after people who possess or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse images if they cannot prove the materials are depicting a real person.
Tech companies and social media platforms would be required to provide AI detection tools to users under another proposal.

Yeah, passing “laws” makes everything better. How is it working for drugs?
I think the word “LAW” should be restricted to real laws. Like the Law of Gravity, Law of Unintended Consequences, or Law of Gravity.
What Gooferments passes are diktats. Bureaucrats make “regulations”.
Useless for all those who just don’t follow the rules.
Argh!
