The proposed bill establishes a new chapter in Title 19 RCW focused on the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) training data in Washington State. It defines key terms related to AI, including "aggregate consumer information," "developer," "generative artificial intelligence," and "synthetic data generation." The bill mandates that developers of generative AI systems, which are intended for commercial distribution or public use, must provide detailed documentation about the data used to train these systems. This documentation must be posted on the developer's website before the system is made publicly available and includes information such as the sources of datasets, the number of data points, and any modifications made to the datasets. However, certain exceptions apply, such as for systems focused solely on security and integrity or those developed for national security purposes.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that compliance with these requirements should align with the generally acknowledged state of the art, as guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, while also protecting developers' intellectual property rights. It further states that violations of this chapter are considered unfair or deceptive acts in trade or commerce, thus subject to the provisions of the consumer protection act. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the development and deployment of generative AI systems, ensuring that consumer interests are safeguarded.
