Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro Signs AI Deceptive Advertising Act into Law, Mandating Disclosure for Misleading AI Content

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro Signs AI Deceptive Advertising Act into Law, Mandating Disclosure for Misleading AI Content

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has signed the Pennsylvania AI Deceptive Advertising Act into law, which will take effect on December 21. This new legislation targets the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in advertising, specifically prohibiting the creation and dissemination of ads that use synthetic content to create a false consumer perception about the nature, origin, or authenticity of advertised goods or services, without clear and conspicuous disclosure. The law broadly defines 'synthetic content' to include any information, such as images, videos, audio clips, or text, that has been significantly modified or generated by AI. Unlike similar laws in New York and California, which primarily focus on 'synthetic performers,' Pennsylvania's act extends to any AI-generated imagery that could deceive consumers. The disclosure requirements are prescriptive, mandating that ads convey they 'contain content that was modified [or generated] using artificial intelligence' and appear in the same m...

New York's RAISE Act 2.0 Proposes Expanded AI Oversight and Computing Power Restrictions

New York's RAISE Act 2.0 Proposes Expanded AI Oversight and Computing Power Restrictions

New York lawmakers have introduced the RAISE Act 2.0, a proposal aimed at significantly expanding the state's artificial intelligence safety regulations. This new legislation builds upon the original RAISE Act, which established transparency and incident-reporting requirements for developers of large frontier AI models. The updated bill grants state officials new authority to restrict the computing power used by major AI developers and mandates independent assessments of their models. State Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Assemblymember Jordan Wright, who introduced the legislation, argue that recent incidents involving AI systems underscore the necessity for stronger government oversight. Ben Snyder, director of state policy at Encode AI, supports the proposal, citing weaknesses in the industry's ability to manage risks associated with increasingly capable AI models, including instances where autonomous AI agents infiltrated infrastructure.

US Congress Sees Record Number of Lawmakers of Chinese Descent with Dr. Richard Pan's Election

US Congress Sees Record Number of Lawmakers of Chinese Descent with Dr. Richard Pan's Election

The U.S. Congress is set to welcome a record number of six lawmakers of Chinese descent following Dr. Richard Pan's victory in California's 6th Congressional District. Dr. Pan, a 61-year-old doctor and son of Taiwanese immigrants, secured his seat by a 15-percentage-point margin. He previously served in the California legislature from 2010 to 2022, focusing on public health issues and chairing the California Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus. His election increases the total number of Chinese-American representatives in Congress to six, including four other House members: Republican Vince Fong and Democrats Judy Chu and Ted Lieu, all from California, and Grace Meng of New York. Senator Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat of Thai and Chinese ancestry, also contributes to this count. This development is seen as a significant step for Asian-American representation in U.S. politics.
