Copied Act would make removing AI digital watermarks illegal

The COPIED Act, bipartisan legislation introduced by a group of senators, aims to combat unauthorized use of journalists' and artists' work by AI models. It would establish NIST standards for content origin and synthetic content detection, mandate AI tools to attach origin information, and allow content owners to sue for unauthorized use or tampering with authentication markers.

• COPIED Act focuses on AI-generated content authentication.
• NIST would develop content origin standards.
• Security measures against tampering are included.
• Sue for unauthorized use or watermark tampering.
• Support from various artists and publishers.
