California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed new legislation aimed at protecting actors from unauthorized use of artificial intelligence. The laws specifically address concerns about studios creating digital clones of performers without their consent, a growing issue in the entertainment industry. This move reflects a balance between fostering innovation in AI and ensuring worker protections in Hollywood.
The legislation allows performers to exit contracts that may permit AI cloning of their likenesses and prohibits the digital cloning of deceased performers without estate permission. This initiative is a response to the recent Hollywood actors' strike, emphasizing the need for clear regulations in an evolving digital landscape. With California leading the way, these laws could set a precedent for similar protections across the nation.
