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.
