Bipartisan bill seeks to combat AI Deepfake misuse with watermarking and provenance
A new bill introduced by a group of bipartisan Senators seeks to combat the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) deep fakes by mandating watermarking of such content.
The bill, presented by Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM), proposes a standardized method for watermarking content generated by AI.
Dubbed the Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act (COPIED), it will bolster creator protection and establish controls on the types of content on which AI can be trained.
