California to impose new AI regulations in defiance of Trump call
"Companies hoping to sign contracts with the state of California will have to show they have policies to keep AI from distributing child sexual abuse material and violent pornography."
"California leads in AI, and we're going to use every tool we have to ensure companies protect people's rights, not exploit them or put them in harm's way."
"The order directs the state to come up with best practices for watermarking AI-generated or -manipulated images and videos."
California is introducing new standards for AI companies seeking state contracts, emphasizing public safety. Companies must demonstrate policies to prevent the distribution of child sexual abuse material and violent pornography. They are also required to show how they avoid harmful bias and unlawful discrimination. The executive order mandates the development of best practices for watermarking AI-generated content. Governor Newsom highlights the need for innovation to protect people's rights and prevent misuse. This move reflects ongoing state-level efforts to regulate the AI industry amid public safety concerns.
