California lawmakers are advancing regulations on AI to address discrimination, job displacement, misinformation, privacy breaches, and automation bias.

Governor Gavin Newsom is considering rules to prevent AI discrimination in hiring and promote responsible AI use across sectors.

Proposals include oversight frameworks to counter bias in AI models, safeguards for workers against AI displacement, and regulations on generative AI systems.

Bans on deceptive deepfakes related to elections or pornography are also part of the new measures.

These efforts aim to build public trust and outlaw harmful AI applications, potentially setting a national standard for AI regulations.

California's actions are significant as the US trails Europe in AI regulation and AI becomes more integrated into daily life.

The goal is to ensure ethical and responsible AI use while protecting individuals from potential harms.
