The Goodwin Law publication dated June 9, 2025, discusses the enactment of California’s Assembly Bill 2013 (AB-2013), a pioneering law that requires developers of generative AI systems to disclose the datasets and sources used to train their models. This legislation aims to increase transparency, accountability, and consumer protection in the rapidly evolving AI sector.

The article outlines the obligations imposed by AB-2013, including detailed reporting requirements about data provenance and usage. It also explores the law’s potential impact on AI development, innovation, and competition within California and beyond.

Legal experts note that AB-2013 sets a precedent for other jurisdictions considering similar regulatory frameworks. The piece emphasizes the importance for AI developers to adapt compliance strategies and maintain transparent data practices to avoid legal liabilities.
