California AI laws

The State of California has several laws regulating artificial intelligence, including the Artificial Intelligence Training Data Transparency Act (AB 2013) and the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (TFAIA) (SB 53), which went into effect on January 1, 2026.[1] In addition, the California AI Transparency Act will go into effect in August 2026.[1]

By signing TFAIA into law on September 29, 2025, California became the first state to enact a statute specifically addressing the development of frontier AI models.[2][3] The TFAIA protects whistleblowers who have reasonable cause to believe their employers are endangering lives or causing damages worth $1 billion.[2] It also requires companies to publish their safety test results.[2]

Failed AI regulation bills in California have included SB 1047, the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act, which was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2024.[4]
