This Act may be cited as the ''AI Disclosure Act of 2023''.
This section establishes the short title of the Act as the AI Disclosure Act of 2023. It creates no compliance obligations.
(a) 1 Generative artificial intelligence shall include on any output generated by such artificial intelligence the following: ''Disclaimer: this output has been generated by artificial intelligence.''.
(b)(1) A violation of subsection (a) or a regulation promulgated under such subsection shall be treated as a violation of a regulation under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)) regarding unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
(b)(2) The Federal Trade Commission shall enforce subsection (a) and the regulations promulgated under such subsection in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated into and made a part of this Act. Any person who violates such subsection or a regulation promulgated under such subsection shall be subject to the penalties and entitled to the privileges and immunities provided in the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Section 2 contains the bill's entire operative substance. Subsection (a) mandates that generative artificial intelligence include a specific verbatim disclaimer on all output: "Disclaimer: this output has been generated by artificial intelligence." The obligation is framed as a duty on the technology itself rather than on a named entity — the bill does not define "generative artificial intelligence" or identify a responsible party such as a developer, deployer, or operator.
Subsection (b) assigns enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices under Section 18(a)(1)(B) of the FTC Act. The FTC is granted the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as under the full FTC Act, and violators are subject to the same penalties and entitled to the same privileges and immunities as under the FTC Act. No private right of action is created.
