What this bill does
The "Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act of 2024" would require greater transparency regarding the origin and modifications of digital content. It aims to establish standards for "content provenance information," which is machine-readable data showing where digital content came from and how it has been altered. The bill also seeks to develop ways to detect content generated or modified by artificial intelligence, including "deepfakes."
This legislation affects creators of original artistic content, referred to as "covered content," and platforms that host or distribute digital media and generate substantial revenue or have a large user base. These platforms would be prohibited from removing or altering content provenance information, with limited exceptions for security research. Tools used to create synthetic or significantly modified content would need to offer users the ability to include provenance information.
The bill was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It has not yet been voted on by either chamber of Congress. If passed, it would involve the Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in developing standards and conducting public education campaigns.
