Bill > HR3600

This bill, the Deepfakes Report Act of 2019, requires the Secretary of Homeland Security, through the Science and Technology Directorate, to publish a report every 18 months on the state of "digital content forgery" technology. Digital content forgery refers to the use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to fabricate or manipulate audio, visual, or text content with the intent to mislead. The report must cover the evolution of these technologies, their use by foreign and domestic sources, their national security implications, and potential countermeasures, among other topics. The Secretary must consult with various government agencies and conduct public hearings in producing these reports, which will be unclassified with the option of a classified annex.
