What this bill does
The AI Labeling Act of 2023 would require companies operating generative artificial intelligence systems to clearly disclose when content—images, video, audio, multimedia, or text—has been created or substantially altered by AI. For visual, audio, and multimedia content, the disclosure would need to be clear, conspicuous, embedded in metadata (identifying the tool used and the date/time of creation), and, where technically feasible, difficult to remove. Text content, including chatbot outputs, would require a similar clear disclosure. Developers and third-party licensees of these AI systems would have to take reasonable steps—such as contract terms, certifications, and cutting off access—to prevent users from stripping out these disclosures.
The bill primarily affects companies that build or license generative AI tools, as well as platforms and users who deploy AI-generated content. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the requirements as violations of unfair or deceptive practices law. The bill also directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to convene a working group, including industry, agency, and academic representatives, to develop technical standards for detecting AI-generated content and report recommendations to Congress within specified timeframes.
The bill was introduced in the House on November 21, 2023, and referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and on Science, Space, and Technology. It has not received a vote and, as a bill introduced in the 118th Congress without further action noted, would need to be reconsidered in a future Congress to advance.
