Bill Summary
This act would require that video or photography generated by artificial intelligence or "AI" that is posted on a public platform and that is viewable in Rhode Island shall contain a marking disclosing that the video or photo has been generated by AI. A violation of this provision by an entity for profit would constitute a deceptive trade practice. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any video, image, or photography created using artificial intelligence (AI), which is defined as a system that can analyze, reason, solve problems, and generate content like predictions or images, must be clearly marked as AI-generated if it is posted on a public platform and is either created in Rhode Island or viewable in Rhode Island. The bill amends Chapter 6-47 of Rhode Island's General Laws, adding a new section to address this disclosure requirement. Violating this provision for profit or trade will be considered a deceptive trade practice, subject to civil penalties under existing law, and the act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
