Many companies won’t say if they’ll comply with California’s AI training transparency law


California passed a law that'll require AI companies to say which data sets they used to train their models. But few are saying whether they'll comply.

Years ago, it was standard practice for AI developers to list the sources of their training data, typically in a technical paper accompanying a model’s release. The law mandates that a range of potentially incriminating specifications about training datasets be made public, including a notice indicating when the sets were first used and whether data collection is ongoing. The courts may end up siding with fair use proponents, and decide that generative AI is sufficiently transformative — and not the plagiarism engine The New York Times and other plaintiffs allege that it is.
