What it requires
- If your generative AI system has more than one million users a month and is publicly accessible to consumers, embed provenance data, to the extent commercially and technically reasonable, in audio, image, or video content the system creates or materially alters.
- Use commercially and technically reasonable methods, such as the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity standard, to make that provenance data difficult to remove or tamper with.
- You do not have to identify a person depicted in the content, or disclose a trade secret, to satisfy this duty.

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Section 15(b)(1) requires a covered provider to embed provenance data in content its generative AI system creates or materially alters, and to make that data hard to remove or tamper with. The provenance data travels with the distributed content itself rather than being kept by the provider as a separate log; the section states no duty to additionally create, keep, or later produce on demand a record of the provenance data or of having embedded it.

What this law does
A covered provider, defined as anyone who creates a generative artificial intelligence system that has more than one million users a month and is publicly accessible to consumers, must, to the extent commercially and technically reasonable, embed provenance data in audio, image, or video content its system creates or materially alters, letting a consumer assess whether the content came from that system, and must use commercially and technically reasonable methods, including the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity standard, to make that data hard to remove or tamper with.
The duty does not require identifying an individual depicted in the content or disclosing a trade secret.
