COPIED Act of 2024
A bipartisan bill designed to protect original content creation and creators from Ai theft or manipulation, also known as Deepfakes, has been introduced in the Senate as the ‘‘Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media of 2024’’, otherwise known as the COPIED Act.
The COPIED Act of 2024 is a bill designed to protect original content creators and their works that has been introduced in the Senate on July 10, 2024.
Being in its infancy, this bill follows months of testimony by many of the Ai companies and such notable names like OpenAi’s Sam Altman and Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai.
The bill will have to be passed by both houses of Congress and then signed into law before it can be put into action.
The bill also outlines civil penalties for violators of the COPIED Act.
It also proposes a Statute of Limitations of 4 years.
Private parties and government entities can bring about civil action and can sue for damages.
Enforcement of the bill as well as who would set the standards and guidelines would initially fall to The Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology.
Below is part of the Conversations With Claude (Claude.AI) series as featured on the website Discovr.Ai. This conversation will break down the basics and finer points of the proposal.
What is the COPIED Act of 2024?
The document I analyzed appears to be a draft bill introduced in the United States Congress, specifically the Senate. Its full title is:
“Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act of 2024”
This bill is aimed at addressing issues related to artificial intelligence-generated content, deepfakes, and content provenance.
The act focuses on creating standards for content provenance information, regulating the use and creation of synthetic and synthetically-modified content, and establishing enforcement mechanisms for violations related to content manipulation and misuse. 
What are some of the key provisions of the COPIED Act of 2024?
The bill you’re referring to is indeed called “COPIED,” which stands for “Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act of 2024.” This is an acronym derived from the full title of the act.
Key points about the COPIED Act:
- It aims to address issues related to artificial intelligence-generated content, deepfakes, and content provenance.
- The act seeks to establish standards for content provenance information and detection of synthetic and synthetically-modified content.
- It requires tools used for creating synthetic content to provide users with the ability to include content provenance information.
- The act prohibits the removal or tampering of content provenance information for deceptive purposes.
- It establishes enforcement mechanisms, including FTC enforcement, state attorney general actions, and private right of action for certain violations.
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is tasked with conducting research and public education campaigns related to synthetic content and deepfakes.
- The act aims to protect artistic content and copyright while addressing the challenges posed by AI-generated media.
Thank you for pointing this out. It’s an important piece of proposed legislation addressing the emerging challenges in the digital content landscape, particularly those posed by AI and deepfake technologies.
When would the COPIED Act go into effect?
According to the bill, the main provisions of the COPIED Act would go into effect 2 years after the date of enactment. Specifically, the bill states:
“Beginning on the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, any person who, for a commercial purpose, makes available in interstate commerce a tool used for the primary purpose of creating synthetic content or synthetically-modified content shall…”
This 2-year period is likely intended to give affected parties time to prepare for compliance with the new requirements. It’s important to note that this is for the main provisions related to content provenance information requirements.
However, it’s also worth noting that:
- The bill has only been introduced and would need to pass both houses of Congress and be signed by the President before becoming law.
- The actual date of enactment would be the date the President signs the bill into law, if it passes Congress.
- Some provisions, such as those requiring the development of standards or conducting research, may begin sooner than the 2-year mark.
- The exact timeline could potentially change as the bill moves through the legislative process.
As with all proposed legislation, the final effective dates could be subject to change before the bill becomes law.
