Assembly Bill No. 2013 requires developers of generative artificial intelligence systems or services released on or after January 1, 2022, to post documentation regarding their training data on their websites by January 1, 2026, and before any subsequent public release or substantial modification. The required documentation includes a high-level summary of datasets, sources, data types, use of copyrighted or personal information, and data cleaning or synthetic data generation practices. Exemptions are provided for systems dedicated to security and integrity, aircraft operation, or national security and military purposes made available only to federal entities.
