Material description
Provenance data should help consumers assess AI creation or material alteration and resist tampering, removal or separation. C2PA is a named possible method, not the sole mandatory standard. The section lists exemptions for business-to-business uses, products solely providing video-game or interactive experiences, and systems solely used for upscaling, denoising or compression. Enforcement is exclusively by the Attorney General; this section creates no private right of action. Reading scope: Section 15 on pages 27–29 as exposed by the official enacted-text index. Direct PDF download timed out and a visual-layout check remains pending. This summary is confined to the retrieved definitions, duties, exceptions and enforcement provision; it is not a review of the entire 74-page act. 1 October 2026 is the section’s effective date and this entry’s catalogue date, not the act’s passage date. AI-assisted translation; independent human review pending.
