Full Legal Analysis
The bill requires that any content created by generative artificial intelligence that purports to depict an electoral candidate must include digital provenance data. This data must identify whether the content was generated by AI and provide details about the AI tool used. The provenance data may not include personal identifying information or any unique device, system, or service information unless directed by the user. The bill also creates a digital content provenance pilot program within the Division of Emergency Management, aimed at enhancing the security and authenticity of digital content used in emergency operations. Providers of generative AI tools must ensure that provenance data is applied to synthetic content and make tools available for users to verify this data. Key definitions include 'generative artificial intelligence,' which refers to systems that create synthetic content, and 'provenance data,' which identifies the AI tool used. This law aligns with growing trends in other states to regulate AI-generated content, particularly in political contexts, ensuring transparency and accountability.
