PB  - California State Legislature
AB  - The California AI Transparency Act (SB 942) was signed on 19 September 2024 and became operative on 1 January 2026. It is the first mandatory US AI-content disclosure regime, requiring large AI providers to embed both visible and latent disclosure markers in AI-generated image, video and audio outputs, and to provide free public AI detection tools. Civil penalties of 5,000 US dollars per violation apply from 1 January 2026. It sits alongside China's AI labelling measures and the EU's AI Act as one of three global disclosure regimes animation educators teaching publication workflows need to understand together.
