California's new law, AB 2013, mandates that developers of generative AI systems available to Californians must publicly disclose detailed information about their training data. Effective January 1, 2026, the law applies retrospectively to systems released or modified since January 2022 and contains no exemptions for trade secrets or intellectual property.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Generative AI.

Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
California just made your training data a public document, with no exemption for trade secrets. This applies even if you only fine-tune existing models, meaning you inherit the disclosure burden for the entire stack.
