<ns0:Title> An act to amend Section 22757.3.1 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to artificial intelligence.</ns0:Title>
<ns0:RelatingClause>artificial intelligence</ns0:RelatingClause>
<ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:Subject>California AI Transparency Act: system provenance data: inspection.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law, the California AI Transparency Act, requires, among other things, a person that creates, codes, or otherwise produces a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system that has over 1,000,000 monthly visitors or users and is publicly accessible within the geographic boundaries of the state to make available an AI detection tool at no cost to the user. The act requires the AI detection tool to, among other things, allow a user to assess whether the image, video, or audio content was created or altered by that person’s generative AI system. Existing law makes the act operative on
August 2, 2026.</html:p>
<html:p>The act requires a large online platform to allow a user to inspect all available system provenance data, as specified, in an easily accessible manner. The act specifies the means of inspection to include directly through the large online platform’s user interface, allowing a user to download a version of the content with its attached system provenance data, or providing a link to the content’s system provenance data, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>The bill would specify that the large online platform may satisfy the inspection requirement by any of the above-described means of allowing inspection. The bill would make the option of allowing the user to download a version of the content with its attached system provenance data subject to applicable federal copyright laws.</html:p>
