California CCPA Automated Decisionmaking Technology Regulations (CPPA, Article 11) (Valid from 2026-01-01).

2 instruments (2 current) · 4 obligations · 11 claims · 0 milestones

Standing sub-brief · as of 12 Nov 2026 201 words · last cycle 11 Nov 2026 · AI research, not expert reviewed

Binding law in force

California's CCPA Automated Decisionmaking Technology Regulations (CPPA, Article 11) took effect 1 January 2026. Substantive ADMT compliance duties are phased in from 1 January 2027: businesses using ADMT for significant decisions must give consumers pre-use notice, offer at least two opt-out methods, and respond to access requests covering ADMT purpose, logic and the human role in the decision (§§ 7000-7302, § 7222). Separately, California's FEHA Automated-Decision System Regulations require employers, from 1 January 2027, to retain Covered ADMT inputs and outputs for four years (CLM-US-a350e4f0, reported with Probable confidence).

Colorado's original high-risk AI duty statute, SB 24-205, was repealed and replaced by SB 26-189 before SB 24-205's original effective date; SB 26-189 was signed 14 May 2026 (CLM-US-fd6be47a, CLM-US-af1cd61f, CLM-US-8f3081d6, reported with Probable confidence).

California Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 53) (Valid from 2026-01-01).

Binding law in force

California's Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 53, TFAIA) is in force from 1 January 2026. Frontier developers training models above the 10^26 FLOP compute threshold must publish a frontier AI framework and report critical safety incidents to California's Office of Emergency Services, with core publication, reporting and whistleblower duties effective from that date (CLM-US-88b80e3f, CLM-US-90eecd72, reported with Probable confidence though grounded partly in a T1 source). Separate OES and Attorney General reporting duties under SB 53 begin 1 January 2027 (CLM-US-8f476f1f, reported with Probable confidence).

California's Generative AI Training Data Transparency Act (AB 2013) requires developers of generative AI systems or services made available to Californians since 1 January 2022 to post a high-level training-data summary on their website, a duty in force from 1 January 2026 and subject to narrow security-integrity exemptions (CLM-US-5aa146c5, reported with Probable confidence).

California AI Transparency Act (SB 942, as amended by AB 853) (Valid from 2026-08-02).

Binding law in force

The federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, effective 19 May 2025, requires covered online platforms to establish a mechanism for individuals to notify the platform of a nonconsensual intimate visual depiction, including AI-generated deepfakes, and to remove it, making reasonable efforts to remove known copies within 48 hours of a valid, verified request; failure to comply is treated as an FTC Act violation. The Federal Trade Commission began enforcing Section 3 of the Act on 19 May 2026 against platforms that fail to provide a compliant notice-and-removal mechanism (CLM-US-9396b902, CLM-US-1145887d, both Confirmed).

Utah's Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (UAIPA), in force since 1 May 2024, requires a person providing regulated-occupation services using generative AI to prominently disclose that use at the outset of the interaction (CLM-US-7c86c6c4, reported with Probable confidence); a subsequent amendment, SB 226, narrowed the mandatory disclosure trigger to 'high-risk' generative AI interactions only, leaving disclosure on request for other interactions (CLM-US-2e70084b, reported with Probable confidence).

Binding law in force and enforcement activity

The Federal Trade Commission ordered Rite Aid Corporation, which had deployed AI-based facial recognition surveillance that falsely flagged consumers and disproportionately affected women and people of colour, to be prohibited from using facial recognition technology for surveillance purposes for five years, by consent order dated 19 December 2023 (CLM-US-a415e59d, Confirmed); the FTC separately opened an investigation into Rite Aid's deployment of AI facial recognition surveillance without reasonable safeguards. The FTC brought at least a dozen deceptive AI-capability-claim ('AI-washing') enforcement actions in 2025 under FTC Act Section 5 (CLM-US-e2195e76, Confirmed). The FTC also reopened and set aside its prior consent order against Rytr, an AI tool that generated fake consumer reviews, on 22 December 2025, citing the administration's AI Action Plan.
