SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

New Act

Creates the Provenance Data Requirements Act. Provides that a generative artificial intelligence tool provider shall apply provenance data, either directly or through the use of third-party technology, to wholly-generated synthetic content generated by the provider's generative artificial intelligence tool. Sets forth additional requirements on generative artificial intelligence tool providers, large online platforms, and manufacturers of capture devices. Defines terms.

A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning business.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Provenance Data Requirements Act.

Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act:

"Artificial intelligence" means a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs, such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments. For the purposes of this definition a system that uses "artificial intelligence" may vary in its level of autonomy and adaptations after deployment.

"Capture device" means a device that can record photographs, audio, or video content, including, but not limited to, video and still photography cameras, mobile phones with built-in cameras or microphones, and voice recorders.

"Content" means any visual or audio digital content.

"Generative artificial intelligence model" means an artificial intelligence model designed to generate new data or content based on the patterns or structures from its training data.

"Generative artificial intelligence model" does not include nongenerative capabilities like classification, predictions, or labeling.

"Generative artificial intelligence tool provider" means an entity that develops a generative artificial intelligence tool that is made publicly available for use by people in this State.

"Generative artificial intelligence tool" means a product or feature that provides the outputs from a generative artificial intelligence model to end users.

"Large online platform" means a public-facing social media platform, content-sharing platform, messaging platform, advertising network, or standalone search engine that distributes content to users who did not create or collaborate in creating the content. For the purposes of this definition, a "large online platform" shall have 1,000,000 or more unique monthly users during the preceding 12-month period.

"Provenance application tool" means a tool or online service that makes provenance data difficult to remove and allows users to easily apply provenance data.

"Provenance data" means information, such as the origin of a piece of content and the history of modifications to the content, that is in a format that is compliant with widely-adopted guidelines or specifications promulgated by an established standards-setting body, and includes, but is not limited to:

(1) whether some or all of the content is synthetic content; and

(2) when there is synthetic content, the name of the generative artificial provider whose generative artificial tool generated the synthetic content.

"Provenance reader" means a tool or service that allows users to view provenance data and its integrity.

"Synthetic content" means visual or audio content that has been produced or modified by a generative artificial tool.

Section 10. Operative provisions for generative artificial intelligence tools.

(a) A generative artificial intelligence tool provider shall apply provenance data, either directly or through the use of third-party technology, to wholly-generated synthetic content generated by the provider's generative artificial intelligence tool.

(b) A generative artificial intelligence tool provider shall make available a provenance application tool that enables the user to apply provenance data, either directly or through the use of third-party technology, to content that has been significantly modified to include synthetic content.

(c) A generative artificial intelligence tool provider shall make a provenance reader available to the public.

Section 15. Operative provisions for large online platforms. A large online platform shall:

(1) retain any available provenance data in content provided to or posted on the large online platform; and

(2) make available to a consumer of content in this State either (i) the provenance data or a conspicuous indicator that provenance data is available.

Section 20. Operative provisions for capture devices. A manufacturer of a capture device shall include the ability for a user to enable the inclusion of provenance data in the user's captured content.
