Judge Blocks California's New AI Law In Case Over Kamala Harris Deepfake
Thursday October 3, 2024. 11:25 PM , from Slashdot
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the original poster of that AI deepfake -- an X user named Christopher Kohls -- filed a lawsuit to block California's new law as unconstitutional just a day after it was signed. Kohls' lawyer wrote in a complaint that the deepfake of Kamala Harris is satire that should be protected by the First Amendment. On Wednesday, United States district judge John Mendez sided with Kohls. Mendez ordered a preliminary injunction to temporarily block California's attorney general from enforcing the new law against Kohls or anyone else, with the exception of audio messages that fall under AB 2839. In essence, he ruled the law is simply too broad as written and could result in serious overstepping by state authorities into what speech is permitted or not. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
