Ai, Deepfakes, Cybersecurity, Data Xfers
An Act relating to disclosure of election-related deepfakes; relating to use of artificial intelligence by state agencies; and relating to transfer of data about individuals between state agencies.
This bill, SB2, aims to tackle several issues surrounding artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and data transfer. Firstly, it requires disclosure of any election-related deepfakes, which are realistic but false images or videos created by AI. This is to ensure transparency and protect the integrity of elections. Secondly, it governs the use of AI by state agencies to ensure it's done responsibly and ethically. Lastly, it outlines the rules for transferring data about individuals between state agencies to protect privacy and data security.
This bill would primarily affect state agencies, election officials, and anyone involved in data handling. By setting clear guidelines for AI and deepfakes, it seeks to safeguard elections and personal data. The rules for data transfer aim to ensure that individual information is managed securely and responsibly.
Currently, SB2 has just been introduced and referred to the Senate committees on State Affairs and Judiciary. This is the first step in a long process, and the bill will need to go through several stages before it can become law. As of now, it has been prefiled and read for the first time, with initial referrals made to the appropriate committees.
