After several years of delays, legislation from two Bay Area lawmakers that is being called a landmark artificial intelligence transparency law by academics and advocates is set to go into effect Saturday. This law will require AI developers to automatically apply when and where a piece of content was created once the AI content is generated. While this effort marks a step forward in transparency, Becker said the work will be ongoing as technology develops and changes. AdvertisementCalifornia decided to delay implementation of the transparency law to align with the European Union’s AI Act, which takes effect on Sunday. While Europe’s regulation touches various aspects of AI regulation, California’s transparency requirements largely line up with Europe making the laws more effective in tandem.
