Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to set up task forces within 90 days to help develop technical standards for identifying content made by generative artificial intelligence, such as watermarks and content history data. Companies that offer generative AI apps would have to include a machine-readable disclosure in audio, image, or video content their apps create or substantially change, and take reasonable steps to keep it from being removed. Large online platforms would have to show users the information in these disclosures and could not remove them. The Federal Trade Commission would write rules within 2 years and enforce the requirements, and companies could comply by following self-regulatory guidelines the Commission approves.
