Why it matters
AB 2013 obliges AI developers with models accessible in California to publicly identify dataset sources, collection and ongoing-collection dates, whether datasets contain copyrighted, trademarked, patented, or personal information, whether data were licensed or purchased, and the share of synthetic data used. Those mandated disclosures make it harder for companies to keep sourcing, dataset size, and cleaning methods private and limit the use of trade-secret and compelled-speech defenses to avoid compliance.
