There were campaigns by privacy and other advocates since early 2010 when deepfakes were just starting to become popular but before “AI” trend. But it was only affecting regular people then and not harming big tech “AI” companies reputation or targeting people like Taylor Swift, so nobody gave a shit. But now that their campaigns gets flooded with money from lobbyist, they are willing to act.
It’s fucked up that it only got passed since people started targeting poor “celebrities”, when it was regular people it was fine…
Sometimes that’s what it takes to get issues on people’s radar.
