Section 2 supplies the defined terms that set the scope of the act. The covered AI tool provider threshold (over 1,000,000 monthly users) and the large online platform threshold (over 2,000,000 unique monthly users) determine who is regulated. Critically, the definition of generative artificial intelligence system excludes systems that generate only text-based content, so the act reaches synthetic image, video, and audio generators but not text-only LLMs.
The provenance label and provenance label reading tool definitions establish the machine-readable disclosure architecture the operative sections build on. No obligations arise from this section.

Section 3 is the core obligation for covered AI tool providers. It imposes a detection-tool duty, data-handling restrictions, and a content-labeling duty. The provider must build and freely offer a provenance label reading tool — publicly accessible, supporting both manual upload/URL submission and programmatic API access — that lets anyone determine whether content was generated by that provider's system.
The provider must also embed a durable, machine-readable provenance label in every image, video, or audio instance its generative system creates, conveying the provider name, system name and version, creation timestamp, and the degree and nature of any AI augmentation. The label must be permanent or extraordinarily difficult to remove. Separately, the provider may not collect or retain personal information from users of the reading tool or retain submitted content longer than necessary.
