A proposed state bill in California would require text, audio and video created using AI technology to be labeled as such to help consumers tell real from fake.
Hmm, technically speaking we could require images be digitally signed, tie it to a CA, and then browsers could display a “this image is not trusted” warning like we do for https issues.
People that don’t source their images right would get their cert revoked.
It is enforceable. Not in all cases, probably not even in the majority, but it only needs a few examples to be hit with large fines and everyone doing legal things will take notice. Often you can find enough evidence to get someone to confess to using AI and that is aall the courts need.
Scammers of course will not put this in, but they are already breaking the law so this might be - like tax evasion - be a way to get scammers who you can’t get for something else.
Surprise, that’s completely unenforceable.
Yet more out of touch legislators working with things they can’t even begin to understand.
(And I’m not shilling for fucking AI here, but let’s call a spade a spade.)
Watermarks? Super important. Helping the unhoused though, nooooo.

Would be a win for photo attribution too.
This comment shows all the thirty seconds of thought your “Hmm” implies.
You also had 30 seconds but chose to insult instead of contribute. See you at the next comment section.
What baffles me is that those lawmakers think they can just legislate any problem with law.
So okay, California requires it. None of the other states do. None of the rest of the Internet does. It doesn’t fix anything.
They act like the Internet is like cable and it’s all american companies that “provides” services to end users.
so youre saying nothing should be done? great idea
They call it the California effect for a reason.

Even if it was enforceable, there are watermark removal AI tools.
