California Bill Mandates Disclosure for All Online Bots

2025-02-07

Assembly Member Wilson's legislation reshapes California's approach to online bots, requiring all bots to identify themselves when interacting with state residents, regardless of purpose. This expands current law, which only mandates disclosure for bots influencing commerce or voting. The bill updates the definition of 'bot' to include AI-powered systems generating synthetic content. Anyone using a bot must disclose its automated nature and provide this information upon request. This applies across websites, apps, and platforms. Large platforms (over 10 million monthly US visitors) must ensure compliance. The changes reflect the evolving AI landscape and prioritize transparency in online communication.

California Bill: AI Can No Longer Be a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card

2025-02-01

Assembly Member Krell's proposed legislation aims to prevent defendants from using AI autonomy as a defense in civil lawsuits. The bill adds a new section to California's Civil Code, clarifying liability for both developers and users of AI technology. It defines AI and explicitly prohibits arguing that an AI system acted independently to cause harm. This builds upon existing law requiring documentation of generative AI training data and general principles of liability, ensuring accountability in AI-related cases.
