Summary

The bill forces social‑media companies and anyone who deploys an artificial‑intelligence model to let consumers request and receive a copy of their personal information, contextual data and social graph within five business days. It also obligates those businesses to build a transparent, consent‑based interface that lets users share that data with other platforms or AI models using open standards. The goal is to give Californians more control over their digital footprints.
