Historical context & research account
Section 15 of Public Act 26-15 takes effect on 1 October 2026. It imposes provenance duties on covered providers of generative-AI systems with over one million monthly users that are publicly accessible for personal use by Connecticut consumers. It concerns generated or materially altered audio, images and video, subject to commercial and technical reasonableness. Editorial interpretation: this regime makes identifiable provenance in generated media an infrastructure responsibility, providing context for how works are authenticated, circulated and interpreted. It does not decide authorship, artistic value or training permission, nor establish a worldwide labelling rule for all AI text and images.
