Bill > AB2169

This bill, known as the Digital Choice Act, aims to give consumers more control over their personal information on social media platforms and when interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) models. It requires social media companies and entities that make AI models available to others (called "deployers") to allow users to request a copy of their personal information, "contextual data" (which includes information provided to an AI model and data generated from user interactions with it), and "social graph" (data representing a user's connections and interactions on a social media platform). These companies must provide this data within five business days in a portable and usable format. The bill also mandates that social media companies create a way for users to share their social graph with other platforms and for deployers to allow users to share their contextual data with other AI models, using transparent interfaces and open protocols where technically feasible. The Attorney General is empowered to enforce these provisions and can issue regulations to identify suitable open protocols.
