The AI bits look interesting, but the laws appear vague and toothless. E.g, "identify every specific artificial intelligence program used" means all the reports will say “This report was written either fully or in part using artificial intelligence.” without any useful details.

> Artificial Intelligence The popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown rapidly in the last several years and the widespread use of generative AI, or AI that can create original content, presents new legal considerations.

> With the passage of AB 316, a defendant may not say artificial intelligence that they developed, modified, or used that is alleged is to have caused harm to the plaintiff did so autonomously.

> Additionally, law enforcement agencies will need to identify when artificial intelligence was used in official reports and the type of program they used (SB 524).
