In California, Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed two new laws, vowing to safeguard the digital images of actors and other performers. These bills aim to protect actors from the unauthorized use of their digital likenesses or voices both during their lifetimes and posthumously. This move comes against the backdrop of growing concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor of artists. In a video posted on social media, Newsom stated: 'We talk about California as the state of dreams and doers. Many dreamers come here, but sometimes their voices are not fully represented.'
