Bill > SB1000

This bill, titled the California AI Transparency Act, aims to update existing regulations concerning artificial intelligence (AI) generated content by modifying several sections of the Business and Professions Code. Key changes include removing the user threshold from the definition of a "covered provider," which is an entity that creates or produces a generative AI system accessible in California, and replacing the term "AI detection tool" with "disclosure verification tool." The bill also eliminates the requirement for covered providers to offer users the option to include a "manifest disclosure" (information clearly visible on the content itself) and instead mandates that they include a "latent disclosure" (information embedded within the content's metadata) that explicitly states whether the content was generated or modified by AI. Furthermore, the bill introduces an exemption for products or services primarily designed to aid disabled individuals if they prevent content from being downloaded or stored, and it declares its urgency to take effect immediately to combat misinformation.
