Defines the act's scope-setting terms. The three covered actor types are anchored here: covered provider (a GenAI system creator with more than 1,000,000 monthly active users publicly accessible in Pennsylvania), large online platform (social media, file-sharing, mass-messaging, or search platforms exceeding 2,000,000 unique monthly users, excluding broadband and telecom providers), and generative artificial intelligence system hosting platform.
The disclosure regime turns on the distinction between a manifest disclosure (a human-visible label) and a latent disclosure (embedded or linked machine-readable provenance). The provenance data taxonomy further splits system provenance data (device/system/authenticity information not tied to a user) from personal provenance data (provenance carrying personal information), driving the detection-tool privacy carve-outs in Section 3.
(a) 1 Detection tool.--A covered providerCovered providerAn entity that creates, codes or otherwise produces a generative artificial intelligence system that has more than 1,000,000 monthly active users and is publicly accessible within this Commonwealth.Section 2 shall make available, at no cost to the user, an artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligenceA machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.

(2) Generative artificial intelligence.Section 2 detection tool by a user.
Requires covered providers to offer, free of charge, a publicly accessible AI-detection tool that lets users test whether image, video, or audio content was created or altered by the provider's generative AI system. The tool must surface any detected system provenance data, must not output personal provenance data, must accept either uploaded content or a URL, and must expose an API so users can invoke it without visiting the provider's website. Providers may impose reasonable access limits only to address demonstrable security or integrity risks.
The section also imposes a continuing duty to collect and act on user feedback about the tool's efficacy, and a set of privacy prohibitions: providers generally may not collect or retain personal information from tool users (with a narrow opt-in feedback-contact exception), may not retain submitted content beyond 24 hours absent express consent, and may not retain personal provenance data from submitted content.

This section is the core labeling regime. Covered providers must offer users the option to include a manifest disclosure — a clear, conspicuous, medium-appropriate, permanent-or-not-reasonably-removable visible label identifying content as AI-generated. Separately, providers must include a latent disclosure in AI-generated image, video, or audio content conveying (to the extent technically feasible) the provider name, system name and version, creation/alteration timestamp, and a unique identifier; the latent disclosure must be detectable by the provider's own detection tool, consistent with widely accepted industry standards, and permanent or difficult to remove.
Subsection (c) extends these duties downstream: a provider licensing its system must contractually require licensees to maintain the latent-disclosure capability, must revoke a license within four calendar days of learning a licensee disabled that capability, and licensees must cease use after revocation. Note the manifest disclosure is framed as an opt-in offered to the user, whereas the latent disclosure is a mandatory embedded signal.

Imposes platform-side provenance obligations on a large online platform. The platform must detect whether standards-compliant provenance data is embedded in or attached to content it distributes, provide a user interface that conspicuously discloses provenance availability (including whether provenance data exists, the name of the generating system, and whether digital signatures are available), and allow users to inspect available system provenance data through the interface, by downloading the content with attached provenance, or via a link to a provenance-display website or application.
Subsection (b) prohibits the platform from knowingly stripping any standards-compliant system provenance data or digital signature from content uploaded or distributed on the platform.

Bars a generative artificial intelligence system hosting platform from knowingly making available a generative AI system that does not place the disclosures required under Section 4. This effectively extends the latent/manifest disclosure regime to model-distribution platforms by gating what systems they may host.
