House Bill 4496, introduced in the West Virginia Legislature, seeks to mandate that any creator producing content using artificial intelligence must include an identifying marker. This marker is intended to inform viewers that the content is AI-generated and not real. The scope is assumed to be limited to videos based on the title, but this cannot be confirmed without the full text. Without access to the full bill text, assumptions about penalties for non-compliance, detailed definitions, exemptions, or technological specifications cannot be made. The application to 'media/internet creators' is inferred from the title and not confirmed by the bill text. As of the last action, the bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
