S 1993 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to waive immunity under section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 for claims and charges related to generative artificial intelligence.

S 1993 removes legal immunity for internet platforms under Section 230 of the Communications Act when they use generative artificial intelligence (AI). It specifically eliminates Section 230 protections for civil or criminal claims related to AI-generated content, such as text, images, or videos created by platforms using AI systems. The bill defines "generative AI" as technology that creates new content based on user prompts. This change directly affects platforms that develop or deploy such AI tools, making them potentially liable for content generated through those systems under federal or state law.
