Summary
The bill forces anyone who builds a publicly available generative AI system to add provenance information—like a watermark or metadata—to any video, image or audio it creates or significantly changes. The embedded data must be hard to remove and must include any details about identifiable people in the content. The goal is to give users clear notice about AI‑generated media and protect against deception.
