The 96-Hour Rule: Why SB 942 Makes You Responsible for Your AI Licensees

You have 96 hours to cut off non-compliant AI users. Are you ready? ⏳

The Responsibility Chain

If you provide an API for your GenAI model, you are responsible for how your licensees use it. If they modify the content to remove disclosures, you must act.

The 96-Hour Clock

Once you are notified of a violation (e.g., a licensee stripping watermarks), you have 96 hours to revoke their access.

Building the Kill Switch

Your API management platform needs a "panic button." You must be able to suspend specific keys instantly and programmatically.

Conclusion

You are the sheriff of your own ecosystem. Build the tools to enforce the law.
