This bill introduces a new chapter to Title 19 RCW, focusing on the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) training data in Washington State. It defines key terms such as "aggregate consumer information," "artificial intelligence," "developer," and "generative artificial intelligence." 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 it should include information about the datasets' sources, types, and any modifications made. 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 establishes that violations of this chapter are considered unfair or deceptive acts in trade or commerce, thus invoking 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.
