Hey, have you heard about the new US bill aimed at fighting deepfakes? It's called the COPIED Act, and it was introduced to address the growing issue of AI-generated fake media. This bill would require platforms to tag synthetic content with info about its origin, making it easier to spot deepfakes.
Â
The bill, supported by major industry groups, defines deepfakes as any AI-generated or modified content that seems real but isn't. It will apply to big platforms and gives them two years to comply. Plus, it aims to protect creators by making it illegal to tamper with provenance info and preventing the use of copyrighted material for training AI models.

It’s a significant step in making online content more transparent and trustworthy, especially in an age where deepfakes can spread misinformation and harm.
