The White House said that seven major AI companies, including OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, and Google's parent company Alphabet and Meta have pledged to take a series of self-regulatory measures, including a joint development of a watermarking system to mark content in various forms, including text, images, audio, etc., to help users distinguish whether the content is generated by artificial intelligence.

Since the US artificial intelligence company OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November last year, artificial intelligence content automatic generation technology has set off a boom, but it has also brought risks such as academic fraud, technology abuse, and public opinion security. In June, the European Parliament agreed on a draft regulation of artificial intelligence that would require ChatGPT-like systems to disclose what content is generated by AI, helping to distinguish between real images and so-called "deepfake" images, while ensuring protection against illegal content.
