He had beforehand launched the invoice however has since added Rep. Tom Kean, a Republican from New Jersey, as a co-sponsor. Kean had launched a invoice in November known as the AI Labeling Act of 2023, which might require AI-generated content material to have clear labeling that identifies it as such.
