[00:00.04]California recently enacted three legislative measures
[00:05.88]that ban the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools
[00:12.00]to create false images and videos
[00:15.84]during election campaigns.
[00:18.52]The laws – which are among the strongest
[00:22.00]in the U.S. – aim to reduce the use of AI
[00:26.72]to produce fake materials
[00:29.72]that could mislead voters during elections.
[00:33.16]California Governor Gavin Newsom
[00:36.96]signed the bills into law last week.
[00:41.12]One of the main goals of the California measures
[00:45.92]is to fight the use of so-called deepfakes.
[00:50.40]A deepfake is a piece of video or audio
[00:55.20]created to make it appear that people in it
[00:58.80]are saying or doing things that they never said.
[01:03.68]Deepfakes have already been used
[01:06.80]in political campaigns around the world.
[01:10.68]One of the laws requires large online publishers
[01:16.12]to either remove or identify content
[01:20.28]that has been digitally created
[01:22.92]or changed in an effort to mislead voters
[01:27.04]during specific election periods.
[01:30.92]Another requires any election advertisements
[01:35.52]that have been created or changed using AI methods
[01:40.60]to include a message informing the public
[01:44.16]that the material has been changed.
[01:47.52]The third bill bans the publishing of
[01:51.12]certain kinds of misleading information
[01:54.32]about campaign activities
[01:56.80]within 120 days of an election.
[02:01.08]All the California measures
[02:04.36]permit state law enforcement officials
[02:07.48]to take different forms of action
[02:10.12]against violators of the laws.
[02:13.68]In a statement issued after he signed the bills,
[02:17.96]Newsom said the measures were aimed
[02:21.12]at "safeguarding the integrity of elections."
[02:24.80]He added, "It's critical that we ensure
[02:28.52]AI is not deployed
[02:30.92]to undermine the public's trust
[02:33.80]through disinformation – especially
[02:36.72]in today's fraught political climate."
[02:40.52]State lawmakers in several other U.S. states
[02:45.28]have passed similar measures in recent years
[02:49.16]to prevent deepfakes and misinformation
[02:53.16]during election campaigns.
[02:55.32]But critics argue that the laws
[02:58.52]are difficult to enforce
[03:00.72]and face numerous legal actions
[03:03.88]aimed at overturning them.
[03:06.56]The Associated Press (AP) reports
[03:11.36]two of the new California measures
[03:14.16]immediately faced legal action
[03:17.24]seeking to block the legislation.
[03:20.40]One of the lawsuits argues that
[03:23.88]one of the measures censors expressions of free speech
[03:28.36]and permits anyone to take legal action
[03:32.08]against material they do not agree with.
[03:35.60]That lawsuit was brought
[03:38.60]by an individual who created parody videos
[03:42.72]that received public attention online.
[03:46.48]This included changed audio of Vice President
[03:51.48]and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
[03:56.04]At least one of the creator's videos
[03:59.68]was shared by Elon Musk,
[04:02.44]who owns the social media service X.
[04:06.48]The governor's office told the AP the law
[04:10.88]does not ban satire and parody content.
[04:15.08]Instead, it requires material changed through AI methods
[04:21.04]to be clearly identified in videos,
[04:24.08]audio or images.
[04:26.32]A spokesman for Newsom,
[04:29.32]Izzy Gardon, said in a statement,
[04:32.48]"It's unclear why this conservative activist
[04:36.56]is suing California."
[04:38.84]Gardon added that California's measure
[04:42.44]is nearly the same as laws passed in other states.
[04:47.04]But critics – such as free speech activists and Musk
[04:52.96]– have called the new laws unconstitutional.
[04:57.00]They have argued they
[04:59.12]violate the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment,
[05:03.24]which protects speech and other personal freedoms.
[05:09.08]Ilana Beller is with Public Citizen,
[05:12.44]a nonprofit group that seeks to protect individual rights.
[05:18.04]She told the AP she does not know
[05:21.64]how effective such laws will be
[05:24.84]in stopping election deepfakes.
[05:28.20]Beller noted her group closely follows U.S. measures
[05:33.52]related to deepfakes and none of them
[05:36.92]have yet been tested in court.
[05:40.68]Some technology experts warn
[05:43.92]that the laws' effectiveness
[05:46.44]could be limited by the slow process of court actions.
[05:51.20]Misleading content, including deepfakes,
[05:55.52]might not be removed before harm has been done,
[06:00.08]the experts say.
[06:02.32]Even if it only takes a court a few days
[06:06.20]to act against such material,
[06:09.12]candidates and the election process
[06:12.36]may have already been hurt, Beller said.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
