California Governor Gavin Newsom announces his intention to sign legislation that would ban AI-generated deepfake political videos, following an incident involving billionaire Elon Musk. The controversy began when Musk reposted a video of Vice President Kamala Harris that appeared to show her as an incompetent candidate for president. Newsom condemned the video, asserting that such content should be illegal.
