The creator of a viral July post on X that used artificial intelligence to mock Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is suing to block a California law regulating political AI and deepfakes. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed AB 2839 into law in an attempt to keep AI-aided political disinformation out of the election.

California now has some of the toughest laws in the United States to crack down on election deepfakes ahead of the 2024 election after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three landmark proposals this week at an artificial intelligence conference in San Francisco.

The bills signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) come amid concerns over the use of AI in the run-up to the presidential vote and its threat to actors’ livelihoods.

Gov. Newsom wants to mandate minimum supplies of gasoline at California-based refineries as a hedge against price spikes.

The governor's attempt to manage gas prices as California transitions away from petroleum is alarming neighboring states.

It’s time to blow the whistle on the farcical efforts of California’s politicians — especially Gov. Gavin Newsom — to reduce the state’s high gasoline prices.
