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.
