We have received text from H.R. 9578: Spot the Fakes Act. This bill was received on 2026-07-02, and currently has 2 cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would require content made by artificial intelligence to be marked as AI-generated. The label would need to be included in the content’s metadata or added through another technological method that provides durable proof of where the content came from, as determined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
What counts as AI-generated content
The bill defines AI-generated content broadly. It includes video, images, audio, text, and other types of media that are generated by artificial intelligence.
How the labeling requirement would work
People or organizations that own or control AI-generated content would be responsible for labeling it. The label would have to identify the content as AI-generated in a way that is built into the output itself or otherwise attached through a technological system that can verify its origin.
Within 6 months after the bill becomes law, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), working with NIST, would have to issue regulations explaining exactly how the label must appear in metadata or through other approved methods.
Enforcement
The bill would give the FTC the power to enforce the labeling requirement. A violation would be treated as an unfair or deceptive practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act. That means the FTC could use its usual enforcement tools and penalties against people or entities that fail to comply with the rule or with the regulations issued under it.
Practical effect
In practice, the bill would create a federal requirement for AI-created media to carry a reliable label showing that it was generated by AI. It would apply to a wide range of content types and would rely on rules later set by the FTC and NIST to define the specific technical standard.
Relevant Companies
- GOOGL / GOOG — Google parent Alphabet could be affected through its AI content tools and platforms that generate or host AI-created media.
- MSFT — Microsoft could be affected through its AI services and products that generate text, images, or other media.
- META — Meta could be affected because of AI-generated content used across its social media and advertising products.
- ADBE — Adobe could be affected through creative software that includes AI-generated image, video, or audio features.
- NVDA — Nvidia could be indirectly affected if the rule increases compliance demand around AI systems, though it is not a content publisher itself.
