                   THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

       (a) Authentic Content Disclosures.--The Secretary of 
     Defense shall--
       (1) ensure that any covered content that it distributes or 
     displays to the United States public does not contain any 
     false designation of origin, false or misleading description 
     of fact, or false or misleading representation of fact, 
     which--
       (A) is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to 
     deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of 
     the covered content with another person, event, good, 
     service, or activity; and
       (B) in promotion, misrepresents the nature, 
     characteristics, qualities, or origin of the covered content; 
     and
       (2) ensure that any covered artificial intelligence-
     generated content it distributes or displays to the United 
     States public incorporates a clear and conspicuous disclosure 
     that--
       (A) identifies that the covered content includes artificial 
     intelligence-generated content;
       (B) meets accessibility standards for people with 
     disabilities as required by the Americans with Disabilities 
     Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.); and
       (C) is embedded in the covered content.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Covered artificial intelligence-generated content.--The 
     term ``covered artificial intelligence-generated content'' 
     means digital content that is created or substantially 
     modified by a generative artificial intelligence system such 
     that--
       (A) the use of the system materially alters, adds, or 
     removes the meaning or significance that a reasonable person 
     would interpret from the content; and
       (B) a reasonable person would believe that the content is 
     not generated using a generative artificial intelligence 
     system.
       (2) Covered content.--The term ``covered content'' means an 
     image, video, or audio content, or any combination thereof, 
     including covered artificial intelligence-generated content.
