HARRISBURG \u2013 State Rep. Chris Pielli, D-Chester, said today his legislation (H.B. 95) that would require the disclosure of content generated by artificial intelligence, or AI, for the sale of consumer goods has advanced out of the House Communications and Technology Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe premise of this bill is simple. If it\u2019s AI, it has to say it\u2019s AI,\u201d Pielli said. \u201cPeople deserve to know if what they\u2019re looking at is real or not when making purchases. Disclosures should be clear and conspicuous in the same medium as the content generated to help consumers make better-informed and more secure purchases. We also hope to curb possible misinformation by malicious authors who intentionally generate and spread this content with the goal of fooling the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cArtificial intelligence is becoming a more prevalent component of our everyday lives,\u201d he said. \u201cAs AI becomes more sophisticated, it becomes more difficult to verify the author of material and content produced. Additionally, the questionable veracity of some AI content has the potential to spread false information or images.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current law puts a responsibility on consumers with \u2018Buyer Beware\u2019 requirements. But how can a consumer fulfill that responsibility when they don\u2019t know if what they are looking at is real or not? What if seeing is no longer believing and the term \u2018I saw it with my own eyes\u2019 no longer has merit?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs legislators, we have to set a commonsense baseline helping our consumers make informed decisions and not be misled. This bill helps to set those guidelines. I thank my colleagues in the House for their support of this legislation in the last session and I hope to get this important bill to the governor\u2019s desk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pielli introduced this bill as\u00a0H.B. 1598\u00a0during the 2023-24 legislative session. It passed the House on April 10, 2024, with a bipartisan 146-54 vote. The bill was then referred to the Senate Committee on Communications and…<\/p>\n
