In a Single Day, CA Enacts Five Bills Tackling Digital Replicas and Deep Fakes
From the Perkins Coie blog, September 27, 2024
Last week, over the course of a single day, California Governor Gavin Newsom made headlines by signing into law five new bills tackling complex issues involving digital replicas and deepfakes. Two of the bills are aimed at “digital replicas,” and the other three address concerns about deepfakes relating to elections.
With the passage of these two bills, California is one of only three states that currently have laws specifically regulating digital replicas or deepfakes outside the context of elections or pornography (joining Illinois and Tennessee).
