President Donald Trump, in Pennsylvania, touted $92 billion in energy and AI investments in the state from tech and other companies.

The Shapiro administration is slashing red tape and has given developers the green light so Pennsylvania will move at the “speed of business” and become a global competitor in AI. Not everyone is happy about it.

Pennsylvania joins a national trend of AI deepfake regulation, with over 38 pieces of legislation being introduced in 18 states this year. Additionally, 80 laws were passed in 2024 to push back on deepfakes, and another 15 were enacted in 2023.

President Donald Trump will join lawmakers as well as energy and tech titans at the inaugural Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, next week.

Pennsylvania's House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill regulating the use of deepfakes in election campaigns, joining a growing list of states trying to put guardrails on the technology.
