Bill Suggests AI Content “Watermarking” to Fight Deepfake Scams
Bill Suggests AI Content: On July 11, a new measure was submitted by a group of senators who oppose deep fake frauds, copyright infringement, and the training of artificial intelligence on inappropriate data. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) spearheaded the group, which released a news release announcing the bill and detailing its several provisions to control AI-generated content. Protecting the intellectual property of internet producers and regulating the content that AI can learn from are two important concerns that this addresses.
The COPIED Act mandates a uniform approach to watermarking to ensure the authenticity of AI-generated content on the Internet. AI service providers must embed the metadata that AI tools cannot erase or exclude into AI-generated material. This metadata discloses the originality of the content.
The unregulated growth of AI has led Cantwell to highlight the need for the bill’s provision of “much-needed transparency” to address these concerns. Adding, “I think it is very much needed” that the COPIED Act would implement a provenance and watermark mechanism, which would return control of creators’ content to them. This includes local journalists, artists, and musicians.
Crypto Deepfake Scams Thwarted
Since deep fake scams are still a major source of crypto crimes, the crypto sector stands to gain the most from the bill. To advertise shady investment schemes, deep fakes use the likeness of famous people and powerful figures. They mislead the public into thinking the project has official support, which gives it more legitimacy in the eyes of potential victims.
In a recent livestream of the Space X launch, more than 35 YouTube channels were impersonated. Elon Musk is using Deepfake and an AI-generated voice. A problem that was already predicted to get worse is now estimated to constitute more than 70% of all crypto crimes committed in the next two years. Consequently, this measure is a giant leap forward in the fight against these initiatives by making. It was crystal evident when AI produced misleading content.
AI Has Been Leading a New Wave Of Crypto Crime
There are many uses for artificial intelligence, yet deep fakes are still the most common in the cyber criminal industry. Deepfake frauds, state-sponsored attacks, and other complex illegal operations have entered. A new age, as shown in a recent Elliptic analysis about the growth of AI crypto crimes. The AI crypto asset sector is only one of several that has benefited from AI-driven innovation. Many projects have emerged from this breakthrough that are set to revolutionize the AI crypto scene.
Like any new technology, evildoers may try to use it for their gain. Dark web forums address AI-powered cryptocurrency crimes employing massive language models. This involves automating schemes such as phishing and malware deployment as well as reverse-engineering wallet seed strings.
There are “unethical” GPTs available on the dark web for use in AI crypto crimes. These tools are designed to avoid being detected by genuine GPTs. The study noted WormGPT, the “enemy of ChatGPT,” as it self-described. As an instrument that “transcends the boundaries of legality,” it presents itself in its introduction. It brazenly claims to be able to help with making phishing emails, carding, malware, and other forms of malicious programming. Elliptic has, therefore, demanded an investigation into potential red flags for illicit behavior. To safeguard innovation for the future and warn off new dangers before they can do any damage.

Summary
The increasing danger of deepfake scams is being aggressively addressed by the proposed legislation requiring AI content watermarking. Consumers and digital information security are the goals of its advocacy of openness and responsibility. To ensure that the advantages of AI are used ethically and responsibly, such legislative endeavors will be crucial as AI develops further. The public, content providers, tech developers, and lawmakers must work together to build a more secure and reliable digital environment.
