Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require any person who owns or controls content made by artificial intelligence, such as video, images, audio, or text, to label it as AI-generated. The label would go in the content's metadata or use another technological method that permanently verifies where the content came from, as determined by the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Within 6 months of the law taking effect, the Federal Trade Commission would issue rules on how the label must be shown. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the Federal Trade Commission would enforce the requirement.
