A bipartisan group of senators introduced a new bill to make it easier to authenticate and detect artificial intelligence-generated content and protect journalists and artists from having their work gobbled up by AI models without their permission.

The Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act (COPIED Act) would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create standards and guidelines that help prove the origin of content and detect synthetic content, like through watermarking. It also directs the agency to create security measures to prevent tampering and requires AI tools for creative or journalistic content to let users attach information about their origin and prohibit that information from being removed. Under the bill, such content also could not be used to train AI models.

Content owners, including broadcasters, artists, and newspapers, could sue companies they believe used their materials without permission or tampered with authentication markers. State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission could also enforce the bill, which its backers say prohibits anyone from “removing, disabling, or tampering with content provenance information” outside of an exception for some security research purposes.

    Yes. Your content and tech. And you even get a say in how others get to use it. Thanks to laws like these. Not to someone else’s.

      Yes my content and my tech. It is physically in my possession it is mine. If you take a picture of it congrats that picture is your picture. What part is confusing you exactly?

      Did I see a sportsball event? I can talk about it to whom I want when I want.

      Did I buy a physical book? I can take as many photos of it as I want.

      Did I buy a cell phone? I can take apart it, modify it, reverse engineer it, benchmark it, and review it.

      Now answer my question if you plan to go after another Daycare, Disney. No more evasions

        Sure.

        Did I buy a physical book? I can take as many photos of it as I want.

        Nope. You can’t, for example, take a picture of all the pages and then redistribute those.

        Now answer my question if you plan to go after another Daycare, Disney. No more evasions

        Only if you tell me whether or not you stopped beating your wife.

        What part is confusing you exactly?

        I initially thought you were ignorant of the core principle of intellectual property, but now I see you’re just wilfully delusional.

          Sure.

          Oh really? For someone bragging about their knowledge of copyright law I am surprised yo do know about the MLB copyright warning.

          pages and then redistribute those

          I can too.

          Only if you tell me whether or not you stopped beating your wife.

          What you are shilling for free for them on the weekend? Jesus.

          initially thought you were ignorant of the core principle of intellectual property, but now I see you’re just wilfully delusional.

          And I originally thought Disney was paying you but you are apparently giving it to corporate for free.

              Their copywrite notice is not enforceable

              Woah did you just make the claim that if a law can’t be enforced it doesn’t exist? Hehehehehehe oh man this is so great 😃 Hey thanks for steelmanning my argument for me. Hey everybody this guy just admitted that copyright is a joke. You heard it, if I can physically copy data with nothing stopping me the law holds no power.

              The only thing they can prevent is rebroadcasts and recordings of the game. Just talking about it is in no way related to copyright law.

              Which is not at all like a LLM talking about copyrighted pictures and texts. Why can’t you keep your position consistent? I can.

                I’m making the claim that there is no such law that allows the MLB to prevent you from talking about a game. I’m not saying there is a law that’s unenforceable.

                Why can’t you keep your position consistent?

                I’m not the person you were talking with earlier. I never mentioned AI, just the MLB copyright notice that you brought up.

              Ha. I knew there was something fishy about that. Anyway, I’m done feeding this troll. I hope he got his worth out of shilling for Altman.
