California Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent legislation mandates transparency in political ads using AI, addressing concerns sparked by Elon Musk's sharing of deepfake videos.
Musk's influence in politics raises alarms; his sharing of conspiracy theories and alignment with Trump's rhetoric exemplifies the potential for misinformation in elections.
Despite concerns, the actual threat from deepfakes in the current presidential race is overstated, with many AI-generated content remaining unconvincing and of low quality.
The primary danger of deepfakes lies in personal exploitation, especially affecting children, prompting states like California to enact laws against such misuse.
