U.S. Senators Introduce COPIED Act to Combat AI-Generated Deepfakes and Empower Creators


A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced the COPIED Act on Thursday, aiming to tackle the proliferation of AI-generated “deepfakes.” The proposed legislation seeks to empower journalists and artists by implementing a watermarking process, providing them with control over their work. Moreover, the act would enable creators to take legal action against unauthorized use. This legislative effort represents a significant step in addressing the challenges posed by AI-generated content. Further details on the proposal are available through Law360.
