The Television Academy, representing nearly 30,000 members across all disciplines of the television industry, applauds the introduction of the Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media (COPIED) Act. As artificial intelligence and digital replication technologies evolve, the need for transparency is tantamount. This bill will set necessary federal transparency guidelines for marking, authenticating, and detecting AI-generated content.
Further, it gives the broad membership of the Television Academy the ability to control their voice, likeness and creative expressions, and give content owners the ability to pursue recourse if their content is used without permission. The Television Academy looks forward to helping get the COPIED Act adopted.
