Summary
The bill forces anyone who builds a publicly available generative AI system in California to embed hidden provenance data that says whether the content was generated or altered by AI. It also obliges them to offer a free tool that lets users verify that provenance. The changes drop the previous 1‑million‑user threshold and eliminate the optional “manifest” disclosure requirement.
