SB 1786: artificial intelligence; content verification
Sponsor: Senator Petersen, LD 14
Committee on Artificial Intelligence & Innovation
Overview
Requires providers of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems include provenance data in any media that is created or materially altered by the generative AI system.
History
Artificial Intelligence (AI) means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine and human-based inputs to:
1) perceive real and virtual environments;
2) abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and
3) use model inference to formulate options for information or action (15 U.S.C. 9401).
Provenance data refers to the source of the AI materials, the origin of data or AI system output and holding developers, deployers and users responsible for information integrity (NTIA).
GenAI refers to AI models, particularly those that use machine learning and are trained on large volumes of data, that can generate new content. GenAI, when prompted (often by a user inputting text), can create various outputs, including text, images, videos, computer code or music (Congress)
Provisions
1. Mandates that a covered provider includes providence data in any video, image or audio content, or any combination of the three, in a generative AI system. (Sec. 1)
2. Instructs the covered provider to use commercially and technically reasonable methods to ensure the provenance data is difficult to remove or alter. (Sec. 1)
3. Stipulates that a covered provider can make use of a commonly supported technical standards for watermarking and metadata to comply with the provisions of this bill. (Sec.1)
4. Clarifies that the content is not considered materially altered if there is a minor modification that does not significantly change the content or its meaning. (Sec. 1)
5. Requires the covered provider include any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual in providence data that is included in created content or materially altered by the generative AI system. (Sec. 1)
