HB317: Requiring the Use of Watermarks on AI Generated Photos and Videos

Impact on Libraries

Brought to the attention of legislators by middle school students in Berks County, this bill will require any media generated by artificial intelligence to have a watermark on at least 30% of the image or video.

This bill will impact libraries who who AI to generate images for their work, but it will also make it slightly easier to prevent the misuse of AI, particular for deep fakes.
