California Is Taking on AI Deepfakes and Digital Clones

California regulators are targeting AI deepfakes and digital clones. Governor Gavin Newsom signed eight new laws that target risks posed by AI-generated content, particularly in the worlds of politics and entertainment.

Tackling election misinformation: Three of the laws require platforms like Facebook and X to label or remove AI-modified content meant to mislead voters. With AI deepfakes becoming a growing threat in political campaigns, California is cracking down on fake videos and images that can spread like wildfire. These laws also give candidates legal power to hold platforms accountable if they fail to act.

Hollywood’s AI problem: California is also cracking down on the entertainment industry, ensuring actors’ digital likenesses are protected. 

• Actor consent: Studios must obtain permission from actors before creating AI-generated replicas of their voices or likenesses.

• Posthumous rights: The laws also prohibit using AI-generated replicas of deceased performers without consent from their estates, safeguarding digital legacies.

Why it matters: California is setting the standard and offering a glimpse into the future of AI regulation. Home to Silicon Valley, the state’s stance on AI governance will likely influence how other states and countries approach the balance between technological innovation and ethical oversight, especially as AI becomes a more powerful tool for everything from disinformation to media production.

Slack’s AI Agents Are Here to Run Your Workday

Your workspace just got a lot smarter. This week, Slack rolled out AI agents from Asana, Cohere, Adobe, Workday, and others. These agents allow users to manage tasks, schedule meetings, and pull up data insights—all within Slack’s familiar chat interface.

The best part? Instead of switching between apps, Slack users can now use AI to handle everything from tracking project milestones to drafting automated responses. Asana’s AI helps with project timelines, while Adobe’s agent is useful for managing creative assets and documents—all through simple Slack commands.

Streamlining workflows

• Automate repetitive tasks: AI agents help with scheduling, task updates, and even pulling in customer data from connected platforms.

• Collaborate smarter: AI agents can suggest actions or draft responses based on team interactions, improving efficiency across projects.

Privacy in focus: In light of growing concerns about AI and data security, Slack ensures that these agents operate within strict privacy guidelines, keeping sensitive information secure.
