The Connecticut Senate approved a legislative proposal aimed at controlling bias in AI decision-making and protecting individuals from harms like deepfake videos. The bill is a result of two years of local task force meetings and one year of interstate collaborative efforts by a bipartisan team. Despite concerns that this law might impact innovation, small businesses and the state's reputation, it was passed with a 24-12 vote. This legislative proposal includes consumer protections against AI discrimination, criminalizes the distribution of deepfake pornography during political campaigns, and mandates digital watermarks on AI-generated images. It also requires AI users to create policies to mitigate the risk of AI discrimination. Critics argue the bill does not go far enough, stressing the need for provision that ensures companies disclose more information to consumers before using AI to make decisions.
