Protecting Consumers from Deceptive AI Act
This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create task forces that develop technical standards for labeling content created by artificial intelligence. These groups will work with technology companies, social media platforms, and privacy experts to establish methods for watermarking images and videos, as well as tagging text, to help users distinguish AI-generated material from human-made content. The legislation requires these task forces to include representatives from various sectors, including developers, media organizations, and labor groups, and mandates regular reporting to Congress on their progress. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the need to protect user privacy when implementing these new tracking and labeling systems.
