United States of America: Artificial Intelligence Modifications Bill (HB 276) including design requirement was introduced to House of Representatives

On 16 January 2026, the Artificial Intelligence Modifications Bill (HB 276) was introduced to the Utah House of Representatives. The Bill would establish the Digital Content Provenance Standards Act, requiring large online platforms to detect compliant system provenance data embedded in distributed content, provide a user interface disclosing the availability of system provenance data, and allow users to inspect all available compliant system provenance data. Large online platforms would be prohibited from knowingly stripping system-provenance data or digital signatures compliant with widely adopted specifications of an established standards-setting body. Covered providers would be required to include latent disclosures in image, video, or audio content created or substantially modified by a generative artificial intelligence system. Capture device manufacturers would be required to include latent disclosures in captured content for devices produced for sale in Utah on or after 1 January 2028.
