California has introduced stringent laws to combat deepfakes in elections, particularly ahead of the 2024 vote. Governor Gavin Newsom signed these bills during an AI conference in San Francisco, aiming to protect the integrity of the electoral process. The legislation allows individuals to sue for damages caused by misleading AI-generated content and mandates the removal of such materials from circulation.
