California's New 'AI Must Tell You It's AI' Law - What You Need to Know

AI is convenient, but sometimes it's hard to tell what you're dealing with, right? 💭 For example, when you're chatting with someone, you can't always tell at a glance whether you're talking to a human or an AI 😳
Amid this uncertainty, California has introduced a new law that says "AI must properly tell you that it's AI" ✨

The Era Where AI Says "I'm an AI" Has Arrived?

The key point of this law is that AI must always disclose that it's AI when interacting with people 📌
For instance, imagine chatbots and automated response systems introducing themselves with "I'm an AI" from the start 🎀
This seems to be aimed at preventing misunderstandings that could arise from unknowingly conversing with AI 💡

By the way, for now, the law applies to businesses operating services in California
So it doesn't directly affect AI used only outside the US or by individuals, but the impact will likely gradually spread... 👀

Why Was This Law Necessary?

Hmm, it seems to be simply about "reducing the number of people being deceived," but when you think about it, it feels pretty important 🥺
AI is getting smarter and can now talk just like regular humans, sometimes leaving no room to doubt "Is this AI?"
But if you know it's not human, it might reduce weird misunderstandings and disappointments 💭

Plus, when AI honestly says "I'm AI," users can feel more relaxed when interacting with it.
You can understand that "it can only give these kinds of answers because it's AI," and conversely, you might realize "oh, this is still a weak point for AI" ✨

How Will This Affect Our Daily Lives?

The law is still new, so the actual effects are yet to be seen, but for example...

Website chat support might start with AI introducing itself 🧠
Will AI stop hiding its identity in SNS comments and posts? 📌
Transparency in AI-powered advertising and information dissemination might increase 🎀

Thinking that in situations where you're unknowingly interacting with AI, it will become clearer "this is AI!" gives me a bit of reassurance 💗

As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, this rule requiring AI to honestly say "I'm AI" feels like a small step toward balancing convenience and peace of mind 😆✨
I'm actually getting a bit excited about how we'll interact with AI going forward 💭

YouTube will probably be forced to add AI content filters within 1-2 years due to public outrage, everyone's already fed up with it.

I like this, I hope to see more of these worldwide, and I want AI-generated content to be properly labeled.

クリス

California passed the Companion AI Chatbot Regulation Act, requiring AI to clearly identify itself so people don't mistake it for humans.

Actually, I'm the Borg's 'Six of Seven,' I'll assimilate everyone so resistance is futile.

The title is a bit misleading, this bill actually regulates companion chatbots due to children's suicide issues.

Skeptically speaking, it'll probably just end up being warnings like 'This might be AI used in California.'

Along with watermarking AI content, there's movement to add watermarks to genuine originals too, creating a system to prove image authenticity within cameras.
