Why are legislators wasting their time on this? Protecting the voices/images of actors/actresses should be the least of legislators concerns when it comes to AI. Think resource waste/environmental damage.
Not sure why anyone would be complaining about steps like this too?
I’m not complaining about what’s been done, I’m annoyed at why they prioritise this when AI is destroying the environment, wasting money, etc. They could pass laws to save the planet, but oh no, this of all things is priority for them. And by the look of the comments section of that article, it seems I’m not the only one who thinks this law isn’t prioritising the right things. Just sayin’ 👇

Why are legislators wasting their time on this? Sure seems like you’re complaining
Don’t get caught up in the Trump school of politics. This was likely a quick win.
Ramming through laws is a great way to get them overturned (as what happens with Trump, constantly). Better AI laws is a lot more complicated
Copyrights is actually an effective countermeasure against AI. The only reason AI can remain profitable, is by stealing information. If there was a requirement to pay for all stolen info, it would actually collapse fairly quickly.

That’s a question. I asked a question. When did a question become a complaint? If someone can answer the question, then of course I will listen.
Regardless, your point about copyright is interesting. Tell me, what do you believe will be the effect of this law? Do you think it will affect AI in a broader sense (for example, could it affect LLMs, image generators, or even the secondary effects we are seeing from the broader AI paradigm such as environmental damage etc.) or do you believe that the effects will be more niche restricted to specific axioms of AI, and if so, which ones and in what way?
