U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez acknowledged the “risks posed by artificial intelligence and deepfakes are significant”, but granted a preliminary injunction against the law stating that it likely violates the First Amendment.
In his ruling, the judge wrote that fear of deepfakes may be justified, but “this fear does not give legislators unbridled license to bulldoze over the longstanding tradition of critique, parody, and satire protected by the First Amendment.”
Mendez said the law “acts as a hammer instead of a scalpel, serving as a blunt tool that hinders humorous expression and unconstitutionally stifles the free unfettered exchange of ideas.”
Freedom isnt free or easy to keep. Good on this judge for setting aside his emotion and ruling properly.
Another win for the good guys.
