In the last 30 days, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed 17 artificial intelligence (AI) bills and vetoed AI safety bill SB 1047. One of the AI-related bills signed into law, AB 2013 “Generative Artificial Intelligence: Training Data Transparency,” imposes new disclosure requirements on the developers of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems and services that are made available to Californians.
According to AB 2013’s primary sponsor, Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, AB 2013 is intended to allow consumers to “better evaluate if they have confidence in the AI system or service, compare competing systems and services, or put into place mitigation measures to address any shortcomings of the particular system or service.” To this end, the bill imposes specific transparency requirements regarding the provenance and nature of training data.
