As amended on 3/25/2026: - Amends the California AI Transparency Act to expand the definition of a "covered provider" of a generative AI system by removing the 1,000,000 monthly user threshold, applying the provenance data law to all publicly accessible systems. - Requires a covered provider to make available a disclosure verification tool, rather than an AI detection tool. Allows including personal information in the output if the user consents. Restricts collecting, using, or retaining personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary for user authentication. - Deletes the requirement for a covered provider to offer users the option to include a visible disclosure in AI-generated or altered content. - Requires the machine-readable disclosure in AI-generated content to state whether the content was generated or modified by artificial intelligence. - Requires revocation of a license of a third-party licensee within 48 hours, rather than 96 hours of discovering the third party is not including the disclosure. - The 3/26/2026 amendment provides a covered provider shall not make access to the covered provider’s GenAI system or disclosure verification tool contingent upon providing personal information beyond what is strictly necessary.
