The proposed bill aims to enhance transparency in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in Washington State by establishing a new chapter in Title 19 RCW. It introduces definitions for key terms related to AI, such as "aggregate consumer information," "artificial intelligence system or service," and "generative artificial intelligence system or service." The bill mandates that developers of generative AI systems or services publicly disclose detailed documentation about the datasets used for training these systems before they are made available to the public. This documentation must include information about the sources of the datasets, the types of data points, and whether personal or aggregate consumer information is included.

Additionally, the bill outlines enforcement mechanisms, assigning the attorney general the responsibility to ensure compliance. Developers found in violation of the transparency requirements may face civil penalties of $5,000 per day. However, there are exceptions for certain AI systems, such as those focused solely on security and integrity, aircraft operation, or those developed for national security purposes. The bill emphasizes the importance of accountability in AI development while providing a framework for addressing potential violations.
