The proposed bill aims to establish regulations regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in generating content. It introduces new sections to the Revised Code, specifically sections 1349.12 through 1349.16, which define key terms such as "artificial intelligence system" and "AI-generated product." The bill mandates that all AI-generated products must include a distinctive watermark indicating their AI origin, and it requires that users be informed when an AI system is acting as or emulating a human. Notably, the bill exempts AI-generated content created for personal, noncommercial use from these requirements.

Additionally, the bill outlines a process for addressing violations of these regulations. Individuals can submit complaints to the attorney general, who may investigate potential noncompliance. If a violation is confirmed, the attorney general is required to notify the offending party and may pursue civil actions for damages or penalties. The bill specifies that penalties for noncompliance can range from $2,500 to $10,000 per violation, and it establishes criteria for determining the severity of penalties based on the nature of the violation and any prior history of noncompliance.
