Support AB 2602 to protect performers' rights from AI
To: Gov. Newsom
From: A verified voter in Los Angeles, CA
August 28
This bill provides crucial protections for performers by requiring consent for the creation of digital replicas using AI technology. Regulating AI usage now for performers can only lead to beneficial protections for non-performers as well. AB 2602 prevents unauthorized exploitation, safeguards livelihoods, ensures fair compensation, and upholds ethical AI development respecting individual rights. Its overwhelming bipartisan support underscores its urgency as AI capabilities rapidly evolve. Enacting this proactive measure defends privacy, creative rights, and positions California as a leader in responsible tech governance.
