Mandatory Watermarks for AI Content Impersonating Individuals or Original Works.
This bill requires entities generating Artificial Intelligence content to place a digital watermark on materials that impersonate specific individuals or groups, or are presented as original works like news or art. The goal is to increase transparency and protect citizens from deceptive AI-generated content, such as deepfakes or fake news. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will set the technical standards for these watermarks.
Key points
AI-generating companies must apply a specific watermark to content that mimics real people or is marketed as original human-created material.
This rule aims to help citizens easily identify whether text, images, or audio they encounter were created by a person or by AI technology.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is tasked with establishing the technical standards for the watermarks and enforcing compliance.
