California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed new legislation aimed at protecting Hollywood actors from unauthorized artificial intelligence uses, addressing concerns about digital cloning without consent. The law allows performers to withdraw from contracts that permit AI exploitation and prohibits the commercial use of deceased actors' likenesses without estate consent. Additionally, California has passed Senate Bill 961, mandating that all new vehicles from the 2030 model year be equipped with speed warning technology, aimed at reducing traffic fatalities. This bill, supported by safety advocates, requires vehicles to alert drivers when they exceed speed limits by more than ten miles per hour. Critics argue the measure could distract drivers and infringe on their freedoms, while proponents cite rising road deaths as a critical concern. Both legislative measures reflect California's proactive approach to regulating emerging technologies and enhancing public safety.
