Bipartisan Senate Bill Seeks NIST Standards for AI Content

Bipartisan legislation introduced Wednesday would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop standards for companies to identify and disclose AI-generated content. Introduced by Sens. John Thune, R-S.D.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Roger Wicker, R-Miss.; John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.; Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.; and Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., the AI Research, Innovation and Accountability Act would direct NIST to develop standards for “providing both authenticity and provenance information for online content, similar to the efforts of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity,” they said. The bill increases transparency for consumers and limits government intervention, said Thune.
