AB 2013

Definition

California Assembly Bill 2013 requires developers of generative AI systems to provide high-level summaries of the datasets used to train their models. This includes information on the categories of data, whether it contains PII, and the time period it covers.

Compliance Relevance

Starting Jan 1, 2026, any AI developer providing services in California must host a public disclosure page for their training data. This aims to reveal hidden biases and data scraping practices in health AI.

Why It Matters

Healthcare startups must ensure their internal model documentation matches these public disclosures. Use our AB 2013 Transparency Tool to simplify this process.

Expert Risk Analysis

MODERATE. Penalties focus on public transparency rather than clinical error, but lack of transparency can lead to secondary civil rights lawsuits if 'hidden' bias is later discovered.
