"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

They asked if I needed police support, and I said no,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was nearing her destination, the support team called again to ask her if she was OK. She said she was in a rush to get to her hair appointment, which she was now running late to because of the incident, but assured them that she was fine. They reached out again hours later and let her know she would receive at least one free ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amina said she is a fan of autonomous vehicles and might ride in one again despite the experience. She said she has anxiety about driving due to a serious car accident as a child and has been looking forward to this kind of technology for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How Waymo and other autonomous vehicle companies deal with “the human factor,” though, could be difficult, she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On Waymo’s side of things — they can encourage the cars to avoid driving in the Tenderloin or certain areas of SOMA. Having lived in SF for a while, I know that certain areas have a higher amount of people running in the streets, which would probably increase incidents like this happening,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>In an 11th hour decision, Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill widely seen as one of the most ambitious efforts to regulate the generative AI industry. SB 1047 was one of hundreds of bills floated around the country in the absence of meaningful action from Congress to address potentially catastrophic impacts of the software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1047 would have required developers to submit their safety plans to the state attorney general, who could hold them liable if AI models they directly control were to cause harm or imminent threats to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The harms at issue in SB 1047 are harms that people are trying to perpetrate today,” state Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) told KQED. “The question is, are we going to allow large AI models to make it even easier and smoother for people to do things like shut down the electric grid or build a chemical weapon?

Maybe they just decided to err on the side of caution, thinking, ‘Wow, there’s so many industry voices saying this particular bill is dangerous and could have a chilling effect.’ Not really knowing 100%, maybe the safer step is just vetoing,” Kousser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said the governor’s office did not engage with his office as the bill made its way through the state Assembly and Senate. “I personally met with some of the most vocal opponents of the bill, with the Andreessen Horowitz firm, with several of the Stanford professors who were opposing the bill, with the large tech companies that were opposing the bill. I also met with individuals and businesses that had constructive criticism of the bill. And we made significant changes to the bill in response to those constructive critiques.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those changes were not enough for many critics, including Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren of San José, who wrote, “Any AI risk framework should be based on empirical data and fit for purpose. I also believe this is an issue that should be handled at the federal level. Congress and the Administration are both moving on AI governance. I look forward to working with the Governor as we move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren is the ranking member of the \u003ca href=\"https://science.house.gov/committee-members\">House Science, Space and Technology Committee\u003c/a>, which has in recent weeks moved nine bills forward, but all \u003ca href=\"https://www.dlapiper.com/en-us/insights/publications/ai-outlook/2024/ai-legislation-advances-in-us-house-of-representatives\">face an uncertain future\u003c/a> in the House of Representatives. Nothing addressing the scope and scale of SB 1047 has passed out of any committee. But Lina Khan of the Federal Trade Commission has said that federal regulators are keen to use \u003ca href=\"http://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/remarks-of-chair-lina-m-khan-re-joint-interagency-statement-on-ai.pdf\">existing laws (PDF)\u003c/a> to go after bad behavior in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987803/how-california-and-the-eu-work-together-to-regulate-artificial-intelligence\">European Union\u003c/a> and Colorado, both of which passed comprehensive laws, California lawmakers have largely focused on discrete bills addressing specific issues with generative AI. Gov. Newsom signed 17 of these bills this year, as he noted in his veto message, and California is among a host of states taking steps to regulate generative AI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the inertia in Washington, D.C., most political analysts see the state level as the only hope for aggressive regulation of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the race for the White House this year, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have sought the support of Silicon Valley’s most powerful players. Newsom’s presidential ambitions are presumably on hold for the foreseeable future, but given the national profile of SB 1047, some have wondered if he might be loath to make enemies among those profiting from the rise of generative artificial intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think, like any good politician who’s ascended to the heights Gavin Newsom has, you’ve got to be thinking about ‘How will I be judged today, tomorrow, in 5 or 10 years,” said Professor Kousser. “That forward thinking has guided his decisions on many bills throughout his governorship. He’s been on the right side of history in many of the strong policy stands he has taken, as mayor and as governor — and he’s hoping that he’ll be on the right side of history on this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industry critics like Marcus argue something much more cynical: that the biggest of the big Silicon Valley companies have become so wealthy and powerful that few U.S. politicians appear willing to go up against them. “Existing laws didn’t anticipate the AI era, and so there are lots of gaps in those laws. We don’t really have clarity about what to do about copyright. We don’t have clarity about what to do with machines when they go out of control in some way.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Maybe they just decided to err on the side of caution, thinking, ‘Wow, there’s so many industry voices saying this particular bill is dangerous and could have a chilling effect.’ Not really knowing 100%, maybe the safer step is just vetoing,” Kousser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said the governor’s office did not engage with his office as the bill made its way through the state Assembly and Senate. “I personally met with some of the most vocal opponents of the bill, with the Andreessen Horowitz firm, with several of the Stanford professors who were opposing the bill, with the large tech companies that were opposing the bill. I also met with individuals and businesses that had constructive criticism of the bill. And we made significant changes to the bill in response to those constructive critiques.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those changes were not enough for many critics, including Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren of San José, who wrote, “Any AI risk framework should be based on empirical data and fit for purpose. I also believe this is an issue that should be handled at the federal level. Congress and the Administration are both moving on AI governance. I look forward to working with the Governor as we move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren is the ranking member of the \u003ca href=\"https://science.house.gov/committee-members\">House Science, Space and Technology Committee\u003c/a>, which has in recent weeks moved nine bills forward, but all \u003ca href=\"https://www.dlapiper.com/en-us/insights/publications/ai-outlook/2024/ai-legislation-advances-in-us-house-of-representatives\">face an uncertain future\u003c/a> in the House of Representatives. Nothing addressing the scope and scale of SB 1047 has passed out of any committee. But Lina Khan of the Federal Trade Commission has said that federal regulators are keen to use \u003ca href=\"http://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/remarks-of-chair-lina-m-khan-re-joint-interagency-statement-on-ai.pdf\">existing laws (PDF)\u003c/a> to go after bad behavior in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987803/how-california-and-the-eu-work-together-to-regulate-artificial-intelligence\">European Union\u003c/a> and Colorado, both of which passed comprehensive laws, California lawmakers have largely focused on discrete bills addressing specific issues with generative AI. Gov. Newsom signed 17 of these bills this year, as he noted in his veto message, and California is among a host of states taking steps to regulate generative AI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the inertia in Washington, D.C., most political analysts see the state level as the only hope for aggressive regulation of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the race for the White House this year, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have sought the support of Silicon Valley’s most powerful players. Newsom’s presidential ambitions are presumably on hold for the foreseeable future, but given the national profile of SB 1047, some have wondered if he might be loath to make enemies among those profiting from the rise of generative artificial intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think, like any good politician who’s ascended to the heights Gavin Newsom has, you’ve got to be thinking about ‘How will I be judged today, tomorrow, in 5 or 10 years,” said Professor Kousser. “That forward thinking has guided his decisions on many bills throughout his governorship. He’s been on the right side of history in many of the strong policy stands he has taken, as mayor and as governor — and he’s hoping that he’ll be on the right side of history on this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It would have discouraged AI developers from investing in large models or sharing open-source software, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s decision to veto the bill marks another win in California for big tech companies and AI developers, many of whom spent the past year lobbying alongside the California Chamber of Commerce to sway the governor and lawmakers from advancing AI regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other sweeping AI proposals, which also faced mounting opposition from the tech industry and others, died ahead of a legislative deadline last month.

The California proposal wasn’t as comprehensive as regulations in Europe, but it would have been a good first step to set guardrails around the rapidly growing technology that is raising concerns about job loss, misinformation, invasions of privacy and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-ai-explained-policy-technology-regulations-discrimination-d3226c9139d3d06af263e7ff467d0666\">automation bias\u003c/a>, supporters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of leading AI companies last year \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-safeguards-joe-biden-kamala-harris-4caf02b94275429f764b06840897436c\">voluntarily agreed\u003c/a> to follow safeguards set by the White House, such as testing and sharing information about their models.

So how are they using it for school? How are teachers talking about it? How are schools talking about it with parents?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This study did not talk to educators, but it sheds refracted light on several key educational questions through the experiences of parents and teenagers.\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12005292\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1277\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3-800x511.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3-1020x651.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3-1536x981.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/2024-the-dawn-of-the-ai-era_chart-pg-7-3-1920x1226.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 70% of teens have used at least one kind of AI tool.

More than half (53%) of students say they use AI for homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t have the guidance to know what it is they’re supposed to be doing,” Lenhart said. “Thirty-seven percent say they don’t even know if there are rules at their school. That leaves parents who are starting to walk into experimenting and using AI in their own lives really at sea about what their kids are doing.” She added that about a quarter of parents don’t think their kids are using AI, even though those very same children told Common Sense that they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m super sympathetic to the challenges that teachers and administrators find themselves in.

She said most of the students used AI, but that a few “more storyteller-inclined” students created their own stories. She explained to them this was one example of how AI could be used as a tool and a starting point for assignments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing concerns about AI being used to cheat, Donnelly-Gowdy said, “I have graded AI work and passed it through because I couldn’t find a way to prove it, but for the most part AI work is easy for me to identify. Students are going to use it to cheat, just like they have been using other things to cheat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"mindshift_64014,arts_13819045,forum_2010101893064\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students who did have guidance reported that they approached AI tools with more skepticism. \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">Fifty-five percent of the teens who reported they talked about AI’s benefits and pitfalls in school fact-checked the information they received because they learned about generative AI’s tendency to “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/64532/researchers-combat-ai-hallucinations-in-math\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hallucinate\u003c/a>” or deliver inaccurate or biased information.\u003c/span> That compares with 43% of teens who had not discussed AI’s strengths and weaknesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another pair of surprising insights: Black students are substantially more likely than their white or Latinx peers to have their writing incorrectly flagged as the work of AI, but parents of Black teens are also more optimistic about the potential for generative AI to soften systemic inequalities in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black teens were \u003cem>more than twice as likely\u003c/em> as white or Latino teens to say that teachers flagged their schoolwork as being created by generative AI when it was not (20% vs. 7% and 10%), according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this clear indicator of bias, “A larger percentage of Black parents are more likely to say, ‘I think this is going to help my child with skill acquisition. I think it’s going to help them in their future career paths.’ They just generally have a more positive sense of what AI can do,” Lenhart said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Most of us expect documentaries to deliver facts about the past or present, even if the truth is delivered with a point of view. Most of us expect documentary filmmakers to be transparent about their source material, like videos, photos and newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before generative AI came on the scene, it was fairly obvious when a documentary delivered a re-creation of something that happened or might have happened. Post-generative AI, nothing is necessarily obvious, and as the technology improves, it’s near-certain that fake bits in documentaries will proliferate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archival producers, who play a crucial role in documentary filmmaking, warn there’s a clear and present danger that the fakery will muddy the historical record irrevocably. On Friday, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archivalproducersalliance.com/\">Archival Producers Alliance\u003c/a> is releasing a set of “best practices” to keep generative AI from destroying the integrity and authenticity of documentaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective of more than 400 people from 25 countries specializes in archives. Many of them help filmmakers put together stories, and some are documentary filmmakers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alliance co-director Rachel Antell of Berkeley said she hopes the new, voluntary guidelines will get Hollywood and Silicon Valley talking in a serious way about the integrity of history that belongs to all of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The two things we always struggle with are not enough money and not enough time, and especially not enough money. AI comes in and seemingly offers solutions to both those existential issues, but really, it doesn’t. I think the question that we always need to be asking is ‘At what cost?’” said Antell, who has worked in documentary film for about 25 years, producing work that’s run on HBO, Netflix and Hulu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antell and others in the Alliance say they already see documentaries using AI-generated voices of dead people, often to read something they wrote but never recorded. Consider the 2021 documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=7301607fefdb0770&rls=en&q=Anthony+Bourdain+doc+Roadrunner&tbm=vid&source=lnms&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J_86uWOeqwdnV0yaSF-x2jrJh7Dt5wV71ckxEPe_0GQyc61_Jkg5ZI9z4zNW20fWd2tUn_HrTAULuFP7u75dytEkiWC15l7moHi_nYsx6bYU7gYxjHncfuRcjwgxByi-2dbm91Px5JKg1Jotj8vdUSEMemJ8XA6RB42LqHkYBEFrl5n20w&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDsYLcxbuIAxX3D1kFHVl9BMsQ0pQJegQIExAB&biw=526&bih=680&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:cec62118,vid:ihEEjwRlghQ,st:0\">Roadrunner\u003c/a>, featuring an AI-generated Anthony Bourdain reading his email without disclosing it to viewers. “We can have a documentary-ethics panel about it later,” the filmmaker Morgan Neville told the\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/the-haunting-afterlife-of-anthony-bourdain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Yorker\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, prompting Bourdain’s second wife, Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, to \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/OttaviaBourdain/status/1415889455005716485?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet\u003c/a> at the time, “I certainly was NOT the one who said Tony would have been cool with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documentaries have long used recreations or animations to cinematically evoke historical people, places or things. However, a number of people in the industry cringed when OpenAI introduced its video generation model Sora with clips, including “Historical Footage” of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luFoA1Qg5qw\">California Gold Rush Era town\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It looks like a blurry, color drone shot of a Hollywood set for a Western town, inexplicably free of women and children, or any non-white people, sitting alongside a brook free of garbage and gold mining pollution common in the mid-19th century. Such a clip might add a vaguely evocative touch to a documentary, but this AI-generated vision veers quite far from what an actual California Gold Rush town would look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some things that are legal are not necessarily ethical,” said Alliance Co-Director Stephanie Jenkins, a documentary and archival producer in Hudson, New York, who’s primarily worked on historical documentaries for PBS, as well as the New York Times series Op-Docs and WNYC’s Radiolab. “Some things that are ethical aren’t necessarily legal. Part of our work is educating documentary filmmakers about where those lines are currently and how they may change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines are not concerned with minor alterations, like retouching, restoration, or playing with the resolution of individual items. Rather, the Alliance is concerned with alterations that could “mislead the audience” and introduce noise into the historical record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alliance is also concerned with the potential for a massive data grab, similar to what’s happening to the field of journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of what archives have is not digitally accessible,” Antell said, noting that companies developing the large language models are “going to the archives and saying, ‘We’ll digitize your material for free in exchange for being able to scrape it.’ It’s an immediate gain for the archives, which are mainly small and struggling for their survival. But it’s very shortsighted. It’s a Faustian bargain. Their metadata, that’s much more valuable than the actual material, and so, their long-term ability to survive is really compromised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='ai']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are less concerned about generative AI’s incursion into archival materials. “I’ve found that sometimes, the gatekeepers of archival collections protect their domain of archival material so tightly that they forget that the goal is the public \u003ci>see \u003c/i>the footage or images, that it is re-surfaced as often as possible and discussed; that it is \u003ci>accessible,” \u003c/i>Oakland producer Charlotte Buchen Khadra said. “Perhaps AI can help make various archives easier to search, for example. I’m hopeful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alliance is not calling for documentary filmmakers to stop using generative AI altogether. They say there are plenty of examples of beneficial uses, like in the HBO doc \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2KMm49B6pE\">Welcome to Chechnya\u003c/a>, which overlaid the faces of volunteers on top of people facing anti-LGBTQ persecution in Russia to protect them from identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Primarily, the Alliance guidelines beg for transparency. That message is being received with open arms by many old-timers in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students have said it is a wonderfully economical way to deal with the expense of animation, and assuming that the prompts are accurate, which is a big if, it can be very helpful,” wrote June Cross, at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. “What troubles me about it is that people can take orphan photos or even copyrighted photos and make animation out of them, thereby stealing the work of the original creator and also making people think that this is an accurate representation…I know that a lot of people don’t give a darn about accuracy these days, but some of us still care about whether the picture shows a ‘58 or ‘64 Cadillac.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Documentary filmmakers don’t follow a single code of ethics,” wrote Stacey Woelfel, director of the Documentary Journalism Center at the Missouri School of Journalism. “So there’s no set of commandments to be handed down to tell filmmakers what they can and cannot do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that, the Alliance plans to host a series of talks, \u003ca href=\"https://pointsnorthinstitute.org/ciff/forum-pitch/\">panels\u003c/a> and workshops in the coming months to spread the word about its findings and concerns. The group also plans to develop a tool kit to provide filmmakers with things like AI crediting guidelines and a cue sheet, insider lingo for a detailed outline of everything in a program, including, in this instance, software versions, prompts used, and the like. Otherwise, Antell and Jenkins warn that public trust in documentaries will be lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Most of us expect documentary filmmakers to be transparent about their source material, like videos, photos and newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before generative AI came on the scene, it was fairly obvious when a documentary delivered a re-creation of something that happened or might have happened. Post-generative AI, nothing is necessarily obvious, and as the technology improves, it’s near-certain that fake bits in documentaries will proliferate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archival producers, who play a crucial role in documentary filmmaking, warn there’s a clear and present danger that the fakery will muddy the historical record irrevocably. On Friday, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archivalproducersalliance.com/\">Archival Producers Alliance\u003c/a> is releasing a set of “best practices” to keep generative AI from destroying the integrity and authenticity of documentaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective of more than 400 people from 25 countries specializes in archives. Many of them help filmmakers put together stories, and some are documentary filmmakers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alliance co-director Rachel Antell of Berkeley said she hopes the new, voluntary guidelines will get Hollywood and Silicon Valley talking in a serious way about the integrity of history that belongs to all of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

AI comes in and seemingly offers solutions to both those existential issues, but really, it doesn’t. I think the question that we always need to be asking is ‘At what cost?’” said Antell, who has worked in documentary film for about 25 years, producing work that’s run on HBO, Netflix and Hulu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antell and others in the Alliance say they already see documentaries using AI-generated voices of dead people, often to read something they wrote but never recorded. Consider the 2021 documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=7301607fefdb0770&rls=en&q=Anthony+Bourdain+doc+Roadrunner&tbm=vid&source=lnms&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J_86uWOeqwdnV0yaSF-x2jrJh7Dt5wV71ckxEPe_0GQyc61_Jkg5ZI9z4zNW20fWd2tUn_HrTAULuFP7u75dytEkiWC15l7moHi_nYsx6bYU7gYxjHncfuRcjwgxByi-2dbm91Px5JKg1Jotj8vdUSEMemJ8XA6RB42LqHkYBEFrl5n20w&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDsYLcxbuIAxX3D1kFHVl9BMsQ0pQJegQIExAB&biw=526&bih=680&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:cec62118,vid:ihEEjwRlghQ,st:0\">Roadrunner\u003c/a>, featuring an AI-generated Anthony Bourdain reading his email without disclosing it to viewers. “We can have a documentary-ethics panel about it later,” the filmmaker Morgan Neville told the\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/the-haunting-afterlife-of-anthony-bourdain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Yorker\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, prompting Bourdain’s second wife, Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, to \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/OttaviaBourdain/status/1415889455005716485?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet\u003c/a> at the time, “I certainly was NOT the one who said Tony would have been cool with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documentaries have long used recreations or animations to cinematically evoke historical people, places or things. However, a number of people in the industry cringed when OpenAI introduced its video generation model Sora with clips, including “Historical Footage” of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luFoA1Qg5qw\">California Gold Rush Era town\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It looks like a blurry, color drone shot of a Hollywood set for a Western town, inexplicably free of women and children, or any non-white people, sitting alongside a brook free of garbage and gold mining pollution common in the mid-19th century. Such a clip might add a vaguely evocative touch to a documentary, but this AI-generated vision veers quite far from what an actual California Gold Rush town would look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some things that are legal are not necessarily ethical,” said Alliance Co-Director Stephanie Jenkins, a documentary and archival producer in Hudson, New York, who’s primarily worked on historical documentaries for PBS, as well as the New York Times series Op-Docs and WNYC’s Radiolab. “Some things that are ethical aren’t necessarily legal. Part of our work is educating documentary filmmakers about where those lines are currently and how they may change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines are not concerned with minor alterations, like retouching, restoration, or playing with the resolution of individual items. Rather, the Alliance is concerned with alterations that could “mislead the audience” and introduce noise into the historical record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alliance is also concerned with the potential for a massive data grab, similar to what’s happening to the field of journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of what archives have is not digitally accessible,” Antell said, noting that companies developing the large language models are “going to the archives and saying, ‘We’ll digitize your material for free in exchange for being able to scrape it.’ It’s an immediate gain for the archives, which are mainly small and struggling for their survival. But it’s very shortsighted. It’s a Faustian bargain. Their metadata, that’s much more valuable than the actual material, and so, their long-term ability to survive is really compromised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m hopeful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alliance is not calling for documentary filmmakers to stop using generative AI altogether. They say there are plenty of examples of beneficial uses, like in the HBO doc \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2KMm49B6pE\">Welcome to Chechnya\u003c/a>, which overlaid the faces of volunteers on top of people facing anti-LGBTQ persecution in Russia to protect them from identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Primarily, the Alliance guidelines beg for transparency. That message is being received with open arms by many old-timers in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students have said it is a wonderfully economical way to deal with the expense of animation, and assuming that the prompts are accurate, which is a big if, it can be very helpful,” wrote June Cross, at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. “What troubles me about it is that people can take orphan photos or even copyrighted photos and make animation out of them, thereby stealing the work of the original creator and also making people think that this is an accurate representation…I know that a lot of people don’t give a darn about accuracy these days, but some of us still care about whether the picture shows a ‘58 or ‘64 Cadillac.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Documentary filmmakers don’t follow a single code of ethics,” wrote Stacey Woelfel, director of the Documentary Journalism Center at the Missouri School of Journalism. “So there’s no set of commandments to be handed down to tell filmmakers what they can and cannot do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The group also plans to develop a tool kit to provide filmmakers with things like AI crediting guidelines and a cue sheet, insider lingo for a detailed outline of everything in a program, including, in this instance, software versions, prompts used, and the like.

"content": "\u003cp>California legislators just sent Gov. Gavin Newsom more than a dozen bills regulating artificial intelligence, testing for threats to critical infrastructure, curbing the use of algorithms on children, limiting the use of deepfakes, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people in and around the AI industry say the proposed laws fail to stop some of the most worrisome harms of the technology, like discrimination by businesses and government entities. At the same time, the observers say, whether passed bills get vetoed or signed into law may depend heavily on industry pressure, in particular \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-regulation-showdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusations that the state is regulating itself out of competitiveness in a hot field\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debates over the bills, and decisions by the governor on whether to sign each of them, are particularly important because California is at the epicenter of AI development, with many legislators \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11983391/meet-the-o-c-state-senator-guiding-californias-ai-regulations\">making pledges\u003c/a> this year to regulate the technology and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/05/ca-eu-ai-regulation/\">put the state at the forefront\u003c/a> of protecting people from AI around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">Senate Bill 1047\u003c/a> got more attention than any other AI regulation bill this year — and after it \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">passed both chambers\u003c/a> of the legislature by wide margins, industry and consumer advocates are closely watching to see whether Newsom signs it into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced by San Francisco Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill addresses huge potential threats posed by AI, requiring developers of advanced AI models to test them for their ability to enable attacks on digital and physical infrastructure and help non-experts make chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear weapons. It also protects whistleblowers who want to report such threats from inside tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if the most concerning harms from AI are commonplace rather than apocalyptic? That’s the view of people like Alex Hanna, head of research at Distributed AI Research, a nonprofit organization created by former Google ethical AI researchers based in California. Hanna said 1047 shows how California lawmakers focused too much on existential risk and not enough on preventing specific forms of discrimination. She would much rather lawmakers consider banning the use of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/face-recognition-technology-california/\">facial recognition in criminal investigations\u003c/a> since that application of AI has already been shown to lead to racial discrimination. She would also like to see government standards around potentially discriminatory technology adopted by contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think 1047 got the most noise for God knows what reason but they’re certainly not leading the world or trying to match what Europe has in this legislation,” she said of California’s legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bill against AI discrimination is stripped\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One bill that did address discriminatory AI was gutted and then shelved this year. \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2930?slug=CA_202320240AB2930\">Assembly Bill 2930\u003c/a> would have required AI developers perform impact assessments and submit them to the Civil Rights Department and would have made use of discriminatory AI illegal and subject to a $25,000 fine for each violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original bill sought to make use of discriminatory AI illegal in key sectors of the economy including housing, finance, insurance, and health care. But author Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a San Ramon Democrat, yanked it after the Senate Appropriations Committee limited the bill to assessing AI in employment. That sort of discrimination is already expected to be curbed by rules that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/workplace-ai-regulation-proposal/\">the California Civil Rights Department\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/03/california-ai-rules-business/\">California Privacy Protection Agency are drafting\u003c/a>. Bauer-Kahan told CalMatters she plans to put forward a stronger bill next year, adding, “We have strong anti-discrimination protections but under these systems we need more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Wiener’s bill, Bauer-Kahan’s was subject to lobbying by opponents in the tech industry, including Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, which hired its first lobbyist ever in Sacramento this spring. Unlike Wiener’s bill, it also attracted opposition from nearly 100 companies from a wide range of industries, including Blue Shield of California, dating app company Bumble, biotech company Genentech, and pharmaceutical company Pfizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of the AI discrimination bill is one reason there are still “gaping holes” in California’s AI regulation, according to Samantha Gordon, chief program officer at TechEquity, which lobbied in favor of the bill. Gordon, who co-organized a working group on AI with privacy, labor, and human rights groups, believes the state still needs legislation to address “ discrimination, disclosure, transparency, and which use cases deserve a ban because they have demonstrated an ability to harm people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gordon said, the passage of Wiener’s bill marked important progress, as did the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb892\">Senate Bill 892,\u003c/a> which sets the standards for contracts government agencies sign for AI services. Doing so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jtprP4tJEU&list=PL7ZZjNmMAwA2WXXJekM3qe8zKBQLGx1ya&index=2\">author and Chula Vista Democratic Sen. Steve Padilla told CalMatters earlier this year\u003c/a>, leverages the government’s buying power to encourage safer and more ethical AI services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some experts criticized Wiener’s bill for what it failed to do, the tech industry has gone after it for what it does. The measure’s testing requirements and associated enforcement mechanisms will kneecap fast-moving tech companies and create a chilling effect on code sharing that inhibits innovation, big tech companies like Google and Meta have said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the industry’s power in California, this criticism is the proverbial elephant in the room, said Joep Meindertsma, CEO of Pause.ai. Pause.ai is a proponent of regulating AI, endorsing Wiener’s bill and even organizing protests at the offices of California-based companies including Meta and OpenAI. So Meindertsma was happy to see so many regulatory bills clear the legislature this year. But he worries they will be undermined by the tension between a desire to regulate AI and a desire to win the race — among not jut companies but entire countries — to have the best AI. Regulators in California and elsewhere, he said, want to have it both ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market dynamic between countries that are trying to stay ahead of the competition, trying to avoid regulating their companies too much over fear of slowing down while the others keep racing, that dynamic is the issue that I feel is the most toxic in the entire situation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are already signs that industry pressure could prevail, at least against Wiener’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic members of California’s Congressional delegation have called on Newsom to veto the bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents San Francisco, has also come out against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Newsom seems to have leaned into AI, raising questions over how much appetite he has to regulate it. The governor showed great interest in using AI to solve problems in the state of California, signing an agreement with AI powerhouse Nvidia last month, launching an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/02/cdtfa-generative-ai/\">AI for tax advice pilot program in February\u003c/a>, and on Thursday introducing an AI solution aimed at connecting homeless people with services. When asked directly about Wiener’s bill in May, Newsom equivocated, saying that lawmakers must strike a balance between responding to calls for regulation and overdoing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The sleeper hits of this year’s AI legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some bills that were more targeted — and significantly less publicized — than Wiener’s 1047 did find success in the legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb942?slug=CA_202320240SB942\">SB 942,\u003c/a> would require companies to supply AI detection tools at no charge to the public so they can tell the difference between AI and reality. It was introduced by Democratic Sen. Josh Becker of Menlo Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb896\">SB 896\u003c/a> by Democratic Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa would force government agencies to assess the risk of using generative AI and disclose when the technology is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other AI bills passed this legislative session are designed to protect children, including one that \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1831\">makes it a crime to create child pornography with generative AI\u003c/a> and another that requires the makers of social media apps to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb976\">turn off algorithmic curation of content\u003c/a> to users under age 18 unless they get permission from a parent or guardian. Children would instead by default see a chronological stream of recent posts from accounts they follow. The bill also limits notifications from social media apps during school hours and between midnight and 6 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trio of bills passed last week aim to protect voters from deceptive audio, imagery, and video known as deepfakes. One bill \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2839?slug=CA_202320240AB2839\">goes after individuals\u003c/a> who create or publish deceptive content made with AI and allows a judge to order an injunction requiring them to either take down the content or pay damages.\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\"> Another bill \u003c/a>requires large online platforms such as Facebook to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\">remove or label deepfakes within 72 hours\u003c/a> of a user reporting it, while yet another \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2355?slug=CA_202320240AB2355\">requires political campaigns to disclose use of AI in advertising\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Newsom’s desk are bills that would require creatives to get \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1836\">permission before using the likeness of a dead person\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2602\">prohibit use of digital replicas\u003c/a> in some instances. Both of those bills were supported by the actors union SAG-AFTRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Which bills didn’t pass\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In lawmaking what fails to pass, like Bauer-Kahan’s anti AI discrimination bill, is often just as important as what advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3211\">AB 3211\u003c/a>, which would have required AI makers to label AI-generated content. It sputtered out despite support from companies including Adobe, Microsoft, and OpenAI. In a statement\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/BuffyWicks/status/1831095971566248441\"> shared in social media on Tuesday\u003c/a>, bill author Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland said it’s unfortunate that the California Senate did not take up her bill that “was model policy for the rest of the nation.” She said she plans to reintroduce it next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The labeling bill and Bauer-Kahan’s bill are two of three measures flagged as key by European Union officials who advised California lawmakers behind the scenes to adopt AI regulation in line with the EU’s AI Act, which took five years to create and went into effect this spring. Gerard de Graaf, director of the San Francisco EU office, visited the California Legislature to visit with authors of AB 3211, AB 2930, and SB 1047 in pursuit of the goal of aligning regulation between Sacramento and Brussels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/05/ca-eu-ai-regulation/\">interview with CalMatters this spring\u003c/a>, de Graaf said those three laws would accomplish the majority of what the AI Act seeks to do. This week, de Graaf had high praise for his California counterparts, saying he thinks state lawmakers did some serious work to pass so many different AI regulation bills, that they’re at the top of their game, and that they succeeded in being a world leader in AI regulation this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This requires a thorough understanding and that’s not present in many legislatures around the world and in that sense California is a leader,” he said. “The fact that California achieved as much as it did in a year is not an insignificant feat and this will presumably continue.” [aside postID=\"news_12000310,news_11987803,news_11998121\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite advising lawmakers about two bills that failed to pass the possibility of Senate Bill 1047 facing a veto, de Graaf said he sees convergence with EU AI policy in the passage of a bill that requires AI developers to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2013\">disclose information about datasets used to train AI models\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the bill meant to protect citizens from discriminatory AI didn’t pass is a really disappointing reflection of the power of tech capital in California politics, said UC Irvine School of Law professor Veena Dubal, whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/dubal/\">research\u003c/a> has dealt with technology and marginalized workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really feels like our legislature has been captured by tech companies who by their very structure don’t have the interest of the public at the forefront of their own advocacy or decision making, because they’re profit making machines,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She thinks events of the past legislative session show that California will not be a leader in regulating generative AI because the power of tech companies is too unwieldy, but she does see signs of promise in bills passed to protect kids from AI. She’s encouraged by digital replica bills supported by SAG-AFTRA passed, a reflection of worker strikes in 2022, and that lawmakers made clear that using generative AI to make child pornography and curate content for kids without parental consent should be illegal. What’s more challenging it seems is passing laws that require any degree of accountability. It shouldn’t be debatable whether people deserve protections from civil rights violations, and she wants lawmakers to label other uses of AI unacceptable, like using AI to evaluate people in the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that those laws (protecting kids) passed isn’t surprising, and my hope is that their passage paves a way for stopping or banning use of AI or automated decisionmaking in other areas of our lives in which it is clearly already wrecking harm,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Scott Wiener, the bill addresses huge potential threats posed by AI, requiring developers of advanced AI models to test them for their ability to enable attacks on digital and physical infrastructure and help non-experts make chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear weapons.

That’s the view of people like Alex Hanna, head of research at Distributed AI Research, a nonprofit organization created by former Google ethical AI researchers based in California. Hanna said 1047 shows how California lawmakers focused too much on existential risk and not enough on preventing specific forms of discrimination. She would much rather lawmakers consider banning the use of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/face-recognition-technology-california/\">facial recognition in criminal investigations\u003c/a> since that application of AI has already been shown to lead to racial discrimination. She would also like to see government standards around potentially discriminatory technology adopted by contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think 1047 got the most noise for God knows what reason but they’re certainly not leading the world or trying to match what Europe has in this legislation,” she said of California’s legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bill against AI discrimination is stripped\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One bill that did address discriminatory AI was gutted and then shelved this year. \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2930?slug=CA_202320240AB2930\">Assembly Bill 2930\u003c/a> would have required AI developers perform impact assessments and submit them to the Civil Rights Department and would have made use of discriminatory AI illegal and subject to a $25,000 fine for each violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original bill sought to make use of discriminatory AI illegal in key sectors of the economy including housing, finance, insurance, and health care. But author Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a San Ramon Democrat, yanked it after the Senate Appropriations Committee limited the bill to assessing AI in employment. That sort of discrimination is already expected to be curbed by rules that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/workplace-ai-regulation-proposal/\">the California Civil Rights Department\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/03/california-ai-rules-business/\">California Privacy Protection Agency are drafting\u003c/a>. Bauer-Kahan told CalMatters she plans to put forward a stronger bill next year, adding, “We have strong anti-discrimination protections but under these systems we need more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Wiener’s bill, Bauer-Kahan’s was subject to lobbying by opponents in the tech industry, including Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, which hired its first lobbyist ever in Sacramento this spring. Unlike Wiener’s bill, it also attracted opposition from nearly 100 companies from a wide range of industries, including Blue Shield of California, dating app company Bumble, biotech company Genentech, and pharmaceutical company Pfizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of the AI discrimination bill is one reason there are still “gaping holes” in California’s AI regulation, according to Samantha Gordon, chief program officer at TechEquity, which lobbied in favor of the bill. Gordon, who co-organized a working group on AI with privacy, labor, and human rights groups, believes the state still needs legislation to address “ discrimination, disclosure, transparency, and which use cases deserve a ban because they have demonstrated an ability to harm people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gordon said, the passage of Wiener’s bill marked important progress, as did the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb892\">Senate Bill 892,\u003c/a> which sets the standards for contracts government agencies sign for AI services. Doing so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jtprP4tJEU&list=PL7ZZjNmMAwA2WXXJekM3qe8zKBQLGx1ya&index=2\">author and Chula Vista Democratic Sen. Steve Padilla told CalMatters earlier this year\u003c/a>, leverages the government’s buying power to encourage safer and more ethical AI services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some experts criticized Wiener’s bill for what it failed to do, the tech industry has gone after it for what it does. The measure’s testing requirements and associated enforcement mechanisms will kneecap fast-moving tech companies and create a chilling effect on code sharing that inhibits innovation, big tech companies like Google and Meta have said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the industry’s power in California, this criticism is the proverbial elephant in the room, said Joep Meindertsma, CEO of Pause.ai. Pause.ai is a proponent of regulating AI, endorsing Wiener’s bill and even organizing protests at the offices of California-based companies including Meta and OpenAI. So Meindertsma was happy to see so many regulatory bills clear the legislature this year. But he worries they will be undermined by the tension between a desire to regulate AI and a desire to win the race — among not jut companies but entire countries — to have the best AI. Regulators in California and elsewhere, he said, want to have it both ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market dynamic between countries that are trying to stay ahead of the competition, trying to avoid regulating their companies too much over fear of slowing down while the others keep racing, that dynamic is the issue that I feel is the most toxic in the entire situation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are already signs that industry pressure could prevail, at least against Wiener’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic members of California’s Congressional delegation have called on Newsom to veto the bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents San Francisco, has also come out against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Newsom seems to have leaned into AI, raising questions over how much appetite he has to regulate it. The governor showed great interest in using AI to solve problems in the state of California, signing an agreement with AI powerhouse Nvidia last month, launching an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/02/cdtfa-generative-ai/\">AI for tax advice pilot program in February\u003c/a>, and on Thursday introducing an AI solution aimed at connecting homeless people with services. When asked directly about Wiener’s bill in May, Newsom equivocated, saying that lawmakers must strike a balance between responding to calls for regulation and overdoing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The sleeper hits of this year’s AI legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some bills that were more targeted — and significantly less publicized — than Wiener’s 1047 did find success in the legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb942?slug=CA_202320240SB942\">SB 942,\u003c/a> would require companies to supply AI detection tools at no charge to the public so they can tell the difference between AI and reality. It was introduced by Democratic Sen. Josh Becker of Menlo Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb896\">SB 896\u003c/a> by Democratic Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa would force government agencies to assess the risk of using generative AI and disclose when the technology is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other AI bills passed this legislative session are designed to protect children, including one that \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1831\">makes it a crime to create child pornography with generative AI\u003c/a> and another that requires the makers of social media apps to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb976\">turn off algorithmic curation of content\u003c/a> to users under age 18 unless they get permission from a parent or guardian. Children would instead by default see a chronological stream of recent posts from accounts they follow. The bill also limits notifications from social media apps during school hours and between midnight and 6 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trio of bills passed last week aim to protect voters from deceptive audio, imagery, and video known as deepfakes. One bill \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2839?slug=CA_202320240AB2839\">goes after individuals\u003c/a> who create or publish deceptive content made with AI and allows a judge to order an injunction requiring them to either take down the content or pay damages.\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\"> Another bill \u003c/a>requires large online platforms such as Facebook to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\">remove or label deepfakes within 72 hours\u003c/a> of a user reporting it, while yet another \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2355?slug=CA_202320240AB2355\">requires political campaigns to disclose use of AI in advertising\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Newsom’s desk are bills that would require creatives to get \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1836\">permission before using the likeness of a dead person\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2602\">prohibit use of digital replicas\u003c/a> in some instances. Both of those bills were supported by the actors union SAG-AFTRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Which bills didn’t pass\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In lawmaking what fails to pass, like Bauer-Kahan’s anti AI discrimination bill, is often just as important as what advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3211\">AB 3211\u003c/a>, which would have required AI makers to label AI-generated content. It sputtered out despite support from companies including Adobe, Microsoft, and OpenAI. In a statement\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/BuffyWicks/status/1831095971566248441\"> shared in social media on Tuesday\u003c/a>, bill author Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland said it’s unfortunate that the California Senate did not take up her bill that “was model policy for the rest of the nation.” She said she plans to reintroduce it next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The labeling bill and Bauer-Kahan’s bill are two of three measures flagged as key by European Union officials who advised California lawmakers behind the scenes to adopt AI regulation in line with the EU’s AI Act, which took five years to create and went into effect this spring. Gerard de Graaf, director of the San Francisco EU office, visited the California Legislature to visit with authors of AB 3211, AB 2930, and SB 1047 in pursuit of the goal of aligning regulation between Sacramento and Brussels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/05/ca-eu-ai-regulation/\">interview with CalMatters this spring\u003c/a>, de Graaf said those three laws would accomplish the majority of what the AI Act seeks to do. This week, de Graaf had high praise for his California counterparts, saying he thinks state lawmakers did some serious work to pass so many different AI regulation bills, that they’re at the top of their game, and that they succeeded in being a world leader in AI regulation this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This requires a thorough understanding and that’s not present in many legislatures around the world and in that sense California is a leader,” he said. “The fact that California achieved as much as it did in a year is not an insignificant feat and this will presumably continue.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s encouraged by digital replica bills supported by SAG-AFTRA passed, a reflection of worker strikes in 2022, and that lawmakers made clear that using generative AI to make child pornography and curate content for kids without parental consent should be illegal. What’s more challenging it seems is passing laws that require any degree of accountability. It shouldn’t be debatable whether people deserve protections from civil rights violations, and she wants lawmakers to label other uses of AI unacceptable, like using AI to evaluate people in the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
