A bipartisan group of senators has introduced a new bill aimed at tackling deep fakes, copyright infringement, and AI training on data it’s not supposed to.
A bipartisan group of Senators has introduced a new bill that seeks to combat artificial intelligence deep fakes and better protect the rights of creators by “watermarking” content.
Led by Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell, the new bill outlines several measures to crack down on AI-generated content, expand protections for online creators, and introduce controls on the types of content that AI can be trained on.
The bill, dubbed the Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act — or COPIED for short — calls for a standardized method for watermarking AI-generated content on the internet.
