Tennessee Hankering for a Little Less Conversation, a Little More AI Regulation
With much ado, Tennessee’s governor got all shook up and signed what relates to be some of the foremost protections of their kind against AI hocus-pocus. But it’s all a little foggy on how practical or even how lawful this act will be. In a location as lively as Nashville’s beloved honky tonk bars, Governor Bill Lee served us the latest hit – the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act. And boy, did they take “Blue Suede Shoes” too seriously? The state has christened the legislation the ‘ELVIS Act’. Now, that’s some “Suspicious Minds” at work!
Key Points:
- In a move unanticipated as a rogue Elvis impersonator on a quiet evening in Knoxville, Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee has signed into law the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, or the ‘ELVIS Act’.
- The legislation aims to offer a level of protection against artificial intelligence-related fraud or deepfake technology. Good to know someone’s finally putting the “Don’t” in “Don’t Be Cruel” for those mischievous algorithms out there.
- However, there are concerns about how effective this legislation will be in combating a highly sophisticated and evolving technology. Not to mention the grey area surrounding how lawful the new legislation is. Somebody’s going to have a “Hard Headed Woman” of a time figuring out that legal mess.
The Wrap Up
In all fairness, it’s heartening to know that Tennessee’s heart beats for the regulation of AI and deepfake technology. Although implementing the ‘ELVIS Act’ may feel like you’ve stepped into a cheesy AI-Tech movie where Elvis is the last bastion against mimicking machines, it’s good to see some practical moves made against AI fakery. However, walking in the legal and practical “Wonder of You” shoes of this legislation might be a more complex dance than the Jailhouse Rock. Enjoy the show, folks!
