AI Policy and Legislation

California Takes Step Toward Regulating AI and Banning Deepfakes

California lawmakers have made significant strides this week in regulating the AI industry, focusing on safety, deepfake bans, and worker protection.

Details:

• New laws ban AI-generated deepfakes in elections and child abuse. Social media must quickly remove deceptive content, and campaigns must disclose AI-altered ads.

• The state requires developers to disclose training data and prevent risks before AI contracts.

• Inspired by Hollywood's strike, new laws prevent AI from replacing workers and penalize unauthorized digital cloning of deceased individuals.

Governor Gavin Newsom has until September 30 to sign these proposals into law.

Google Leads Effort to Create AI Capable of Detecting Illness Through Sound

Google is partnering with an Indian AI startup to revolutionize healthcare by using bioacoustics and generative AI to detect diseases from human sounds, aiming to transform early diagnosis and treatment globally.

Details:

• Google's HeAR AI model, trained on 300 million audio samples, detects early disease signs like tuberculosis from coughs and breathing.

• Salcit Technologies, Google's Indian partner, developed the Swaasa app, which screens diseases from a 10-second cough sample with 94% accuracy.

• Researchers are also exploring AI for breast cancer detection, infant cry analysis, and autism diagnosis.

While this technology shows promise, challenges include gaining clinical acceptance, ensuring clear audio samples, and making it user-friendly for rural areas.
