Two U.S. senators introduced legislation on Wednesday that would allow social media companies to be sued for spreading harmful material created with artificial intelligence.
The law would open the door for lawsuits to proceed against social media companies for claims based on emerging generative AI technology, including fabricated but strikingly realistic "deepfake" photos and videos of real people.
Republican Josh Hawley and Democrat Richard Blumenthal announced the bill that would create an AI carve-out to Section 230, a law that shields internet companies from liability for the content posted to their platforms.at the Supreme Court that would have narrowed the scope of Section 230 immunity. "We can't make the same mistakes with generative AI as we did with Big Tech on Section 230," said Hawley, a Republican.
Blumenthal, a Democrat, called the bill a "first step" in establishing safeguards around artificial intelligence, as advancement in the technology accelerates and investment soars. The bipartisan support for the proposal points at an area of potential breakthrough after several years of stalled U.S. legislative efforts involving the tech sector.
