美国参议院提出了一项名为《内容来源保护和完整性法案》（COPIED Act）的议案，旨在建立标准和指南来验证和识别 AI 生成内容，并保护记者和艺术家免受其作品被 AI 模型未经授权使用的情况。该法案要求 NIST 制定标准，帮助证明内容的来源，并通过水印等方式检测合成内容。此外，该法案还要求用于创作或新闻内容的 AI 工具允许用户添加有关其来源的信息，并禁止删除这些信息。

💬 **防止 AI 模型未经授权使用内容**：该法案的核心目标是保护记者和艺术家免受其作品被 AI 模型未经授权使用的情况。它要求 AI 工具允许用户添加有关其来源的信息，并禁止删除这些信息，从而确保内容的归属权。

📡 **建立内容来源验证标准**：该法案要求 NIST 制定标准和指南，帮助证明内容的来源，并通过水印等方式检测合成内容。这将有助于识别和验证 AI 生成内容，并防止其被冒充为人类创作。

📲 **赋予内容所有者诉讼权利**：该法案允许内容所有者，包括广播公司、艺术家和报纸，对他们认为未经授权使用其材料或篡改身份验证标记的公司提起诉讼。这将为内容所有者提供法律保护，防止其作品被滥用。

📷 **加强对 AI 技术的监管**：该法案是美国参议院针对 AI 技术进行监管的最新举措。它体现了人们对 AI 技术潜在风险的担忧，并表明政府正在采取措施来规范和管理 AI 的发展和应用。

📸 **获得广泛支持**：该法案获得了多家出版和艺术家组织的支持，包括美国演员工会、美国唱片业协会、新闻媒体联盟和艺术家权利联盟等。这表明该法案得到了广泛的认可，并反映了社会对 AI 技术发展和应用的关注。

A bipartisan group of senators introduced a new bill to make it easier to authenticate and detect artificial intelligence-generated content and protect journalists and artists from having their work gobbled up by AI models without their permission.

The Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act (COPIED Act) would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create standards and guidelines that help prove the origin of content and detect synthetic content, like through watermarking. It also directs the agency to create security measures to prevent tampering and requires AI tools for creative or journalistic content to let users attach information about their origin and prohibit that information from being removed. Under the bill, such content also could not be used to train AI models.

Content owners, including broadcasters, artists, and newspapers, could sue companies they believe used their materials without permission or tampered with authentication markers. State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission could also enforce the bill.

It’s the latest in a wave of AI-related bills as the Senate has embarked to understand and regulate the technology. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) led an effort to create an AI roadmap for the chamber, but made clear that new laws would be worked out in individual committees. The COPIED Act has the advantage of a powerful committee leader as a sponsor, Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell (D-WA). Senate AI Working Group member Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Commerce Committee member Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) are also leading the bill.

Several publishing and artists’ groups issued statements applauding the bill’s introduction, including SAG-AFTRA, the Recording Industry Association of America, the News/Media Alliance, and Artist Rights Alliance, among others.

“The capacity of AI to produce stunningly accurate digital representations of performers poses a real and present threat to the economic and reputational well-being and self-determination of our members,” SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said in a statement. “We need a fully transparent and accountable supply chain for generative Artificial Intelligence and the content it creates in order to protect everyone’s basic right to control the use of their face, voice, and persona.”
