Spot the Fakes Act

The Spot the Fakes Act requires owners of AI-generated content to label videos, images, audio, and text as artificial intelligence using metadata or other technological verification methods. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing this requirement and can penalize violations as unfair or deceptive acts under existing federal law. Additionally, the bill mandates that the FTC work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish specific disclosure rules within six months of enactment. This legislation directly impacts creators and platforms distributing AI content to ensure transparency about the origin of digital media.
