Develop provenance or watermarking for AI-generated content (2023 voluntary commitments)

Under the White House voluntary AI commitments (2023-07-21), participating companies committed to develop robust mechanisms — including provenance and/or watermarking — so users can tell when audio or visual content is AI-generated.

  1. Committed 2023-07-21
  2. Due develop provenance/watermarking for in-scope AI-generated audio-visual content
  3. Evaluated 2024-07-21
  4. Ruling partial

Why this ruling

Some signatories shipped provenance tooling (e.g. Google SynthID, C2PA Content Credentials), but a 2025 academic review found deployment across publicly available products was uneven a year on; recorded as partial.
