Informing users when content is developed or modified by artificial intelligence.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires large generative artificial intelligence (AI) system providers to offer a free tool for users to detect if content was created or altered by their AI. It also mandates that these providers offer users the option to include a clear label on AI-generated content and embed hidden information within the content to identify its AI origin. These rules aim to inform users about AI-generated content and apply to providers with over one million monthly users in Washington state.
