Three US Senators introduced bill that aims to rein in the rise and use of AI generated content and deepfakes by protecting the work of artists, songwriters and journalists.
The recently introduced Content Original Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media (COPIED) Act is a bipartisan effort authorized by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), according to a press alert issued by Blackburn’s office.
The COPIED ACT would, if enacted, create transparency standards through the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) to set guidelines for “content provenance information, watermarking, and synthetic content detection,” according to the press release.
Not an “artist, songwriter or journalist” You’re on your own
You’re free to be pillaged for you data by ai
There is no ai without stolen data
I’m curious how they’re defining artist too. The definition for tax purposes is already a mess that barely covers anyone.
Artist is defined as someone who can afford to defend their rights in court
It’s great for the guild of lawyers, they would describe the situation as billable hours…
