AI disclosure rules for LinkedIn in California
In California, disclosing AI-generated or AI-edited content on LinkedIn is strongly recommended and can be required depending on context. Here is what to know.
California AI Transparency Act (SB 942) — provenance & detection duties
SB 942 (California AI Transparency Act) targets large 'covered providers' of generative AI (systems with high monthly user counts): they must offer a free AI-detection tool and embed both latent (machine-readable) and optional manifest (visible) disclosures in AI outputs. Amended by AB 853 (signed Oct 2025): a covered provider is a GenAI system with over 1,000,000 monthly users; the operative date moved to 2 Aug 2026, and from 1 Jan 2027 the duties also reach generative-AI hosting platforms.
