New Senate Bill Targets AI Deepfakes, Calls for Content Watermarks - Decrypt

In the latest bid to curb AI-generated deepfakes, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators led by Washington Senator Maria Cantwell announced on Thursday the introduction of the Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media (COPIED) Act.L The COPIED Act calls for a standardized method to watermark AI-generated content so that it can be easily detected. It also requires AI tool providers to allow creators to attach information detailing the origin or “provenance” of their content in a way that cannot be removed.
