I wish to propose a META tag for AI Generated content if it does not exist

There is a great fear among content publishers of being penalized by 
search engines for using AI generated content, so I wish to propose this 
tag if it does not exist so that users can know they are consuming AI 
generated content, and search engines will "know" that it is in fact AI 
generated content, and weigh that in to the algorithm that determines 
the value of any given content versus the given search term.

Is this the correct email thread? If not could you please help point me 
to the correct resource? Thank you very much. I am afraid I do not know 
how to research this properly as I have never even though of submitting 
a new META tag until now. I appreciate you

RFC Proposal: AI-Generated Content Meta Tag
Abstract
This RFC proposes the addition of a new meta tag in HTML to indicate 
that content on a webpage has been generated by artificial intelligence 
(AI) systems. The purpose of this meta tag is to provide transparency to 
users and enable web browsers, search engines, and other user agents to 
handle AI-generated content appropriately.

Status of This Memo
This document is a proposal for an Internet Standard. Distribution of 
this memo is unlimited.

1. Introduction
1.1 Motivation
AI-generated content is becoming increasingly prevalent on the web, and 
users may benefit from knowing when content has been created by AI 
systems. This meta tag proposal aims to provide a standardized way to 
indicate AI-generated content.

1.2 Scope
This RFC defines a new meta tag, "ai-generated," that can be added to 
HTML documents to indicate AI involvement in content generation.

2. Specification
2.1 Definition of the Meta Tag
The "ai-generated" meta tag is used to indicate that the content within 
the HTML document has been generated, in whole or in part, by artificial 
intelligence systems.

2.2 Syntax
The "ai-generated" meta tag can be added to the <head> section of an 
HTML document as follows:

html
Copy code
<meta name="ai-generated" content="true">
2.3 Examples of Usage
Example 1: Entire Page Generated by AI
html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta name="ai-generated" content="true">
   <title>AI-Generated Page</title>
</head>
<body>
   <!-- AI-generated content here -->
</body>
</html>
Example 2: AI-Generated Section
html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
   <div>
     <p>This section is AI-generated.</p>
   </div>
   <div>
     <meta name="ai-generated" content="true">
     <!-- Additional content -->
   </div>
</body>
</html>
2.4 Use Cases and Benefits
Improved transparency for users.
Enhanced search engine optimization (SEO) by allowing search engines to 
understand AI-generated content.
3. Security Considerations
3.1 Privacy
Implementers should consider privacy implications when using the 
"ai-generated" meta tag, especially when AI-generated content may 
involve personal data.

3.2 Trustworthiness
The use of this meta tag should not imply that the content is 
trustworthy or free from potential biases introduced by AI systems. 
Users should exercise caution and critical thinking when encountering 
AI-generated content.

4. IANA Considerations
This section describes the registration of the "ai-generated" meta tag 
with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The details of this 
registration are specified in [IANA registry link].
