First the law needs to make it clear that ai generated material gets no copyright or other protections meant for creative content, second, make it the law that all ai generated content published anywhere in the USA has to be clearly labeled as such.

I don't think that would be workable.  A person could do the slightest bit of editing and claim the copyright.  Sort of like those paintings that are machine made, but then a person at the factory puts a few brush strokes on it and it's sold as one-of-a-kind.  

Besides, how "AI generated" would a work have to be to be called "AI generated?"  90%?  80%?  And how could you tell?

It wouldn't solve every problem but it should prevent many.  Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Another thing we need to implement, yesterday, is a sort of digital signature on all cameras, so that the files they record can be reliably traced back to a recording device.  Many devices have something like this, but it should be a requirement going forward, and more robust. And a software that edits the file should have to place its own signature. If a bad guy tries to use AI to make a public figure appear to say something they never said, their video file would lack those signatures.
