Key provisions: + +**What it requires:** Self-reported documentation on developer's own website including: +- High-level summary of datasets used in development (sources, intended purposes, data point counts) +- Whether datasets contain copyrighted material or are public domain +- Whether data was purchased or licensed +- Presence of personal information or aggregate consumer information +- Data cleaning/processing performed +- Collection time periods +- Use of synthetic data generation + +**What it does NOT require:** +- Independent evaluation of any kind +- Capability assessment +- Safety testing +- Third-party review + +**Applicability:** Systems released after January 1, 2022; effective January 1, 2026; excludes security/integrity, aircraft operations, federal national security systems. + +**Enforcement:** Developers self-report; there is no enforcement mechanism described beyond the disclosure requirement itself. + +## Agent Notes + +**Why this matters:** Stelling et al. (arXiv:2512.01166, previous session) grouped California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act with the EU AI Act as laws that rely on frontier safety frameworks as compliance evidence. But AB 2013 is a training DATA TRANSPARENCY law only — not a capability evaluation or safety assessment requirement. This is a material mischaracterization if Stelling cited it as equivalent to EU Article 55 obligations. + +**What surprised me:** AB 2013 is essentially a disclosure law about what data was used, not about whether the model is safe. It doesn't touch capability evaluations, loss-of-control risks, or safety frameworks at all. The Stelling framing ("California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act relies on these same 8-35% frameworks as compliance evidence") may refer to a different California law (perhaps SB 1047 or similar) rather than AB 2013. Worth clarifying in next session. + +**What I expected but didn't find:** Any connection between AB 2013 and frontier safety frameworks or capability evaluation requirements. They appear entirely separate. + +**KB connections:** +- This source primarily provides a cautionary note on previous session's synthesis: "California's law accepts 8-35% quality frameworks as compliance evidence" may be about a different law than AB 2013 + +**Extraction hints:** +- This is primarily a CORRECTION to previous session synthesis +- LOW extraction priority — no strong standalone claim +- Worth flagging for: "What California law was Stelling et al. actually referring to?" — may be SB 1047 (Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier AI Models Act), not AB 2013 + +## Curator Notes (structured handoff for extractor) +PRIMARY CONNECTION: Previous session synthesis (Stelling et al. finding about California law) +WHY ARCHIVED: Corrective — AB 2013 is training data disclosure only; the Stelling characterization may refer to different legislation; extractor should verify which California law is implicated +EXTRACTION HINT: Low extraction priority; primarily a correction to Session 10 synthesis note; may inform a future session's California law deep-dive
