AI Labeling Act of 2026

This bill would require companies that offer generative AI systems to put visible labels and machine-readable disclosures on realistic AI-generated images, video, and audio, and to give users a way to detect such content. Large online platforms would have to identify labeled AI content, could not remove the labels, and would have to give users the option to share content origin information. Anyone offering an AI chatbot would have to disclose that it is an AI chatbot. The bill would bar knowingly removing or faking these labels, with enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Attorney General, state attorneys general, and harmed AI providers or platforms. It would also create a federal working group to set technical labeling standards.
