Senators Introduce COPIED Act to Safeguard Creative Content from Unauthorized AI Use

The bipartisan bill aims to establish transparency standards and protect artists and journalists from AI exploitation.

The COPIED Act seeks to prevent unauthorized use of creative and journalistic content in AI training and generation.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will develop guidelines for content provenance and synthetic content detection.
The bill empowers the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to enforce these standards.
Artists, songwriters, and journalists can sue entities that misuse their content without consent or proper compensation.
The COPIED Act has garnered support from various industry groups including SAG-AFTRA and the Recording Industry Association of America.
