Summary

The bill adds new rules for the California Community Colleges and California State University system – and asks the University of California to join – to develop procurement standards and mandatory training for any generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) product used on campus. It sets up a joint working group, requires annual review of training, record‑keeping, and a pre‑contract report to the Legislature. The goal is to protect privacy, limit harmful or inaccurate AI output, and ensure responsible use in education.
