California Governor Signs SB 1050 Mandating Disclosure of Synthetic Performers

Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1050 in Los Angeles. The bill requires advertisers to disclose if a performer in a commercial is synthetic rather than a real human being. Regulators have the power to remove advertisements that skip this disclosure.

Why it matters
The legislation introduces a consumer protection standard that mandates disclosure regarding synthetic performers in advertising. This regulatory change is comparable to consumer protection statutes used in the telecom industry.
Legislators Cecilia Aguiar-Curry and Angelique Ashby are advocating for bills concerning market consolidation.
