Overview
This bill, the California AI Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in generating content. It requires AI providers to offer a tool to verify whether content was created or altered by AI, and to include disclosures about the AI’s involvement. The bill removes a user threshold for defining ‘covered providers’ and exempts accessibility products designed to prevent content appropriation. It also mandates that AI-generated content include information about the AI system used to create it.
