Covered provider
Provider meeting the user-threshold subject to the law.
How the laws define this
Every cited legal provision agrees that a covered provider is an individual, person, or entity that creates, codes, or otherwise produces a generative artificial intelligence system and meets a size threshold of over one million monthly visitors or users. The primary point of divergence concerns geographic accessibility requirements. Under Title 19 RCW, the system must be publicly accessible within the geographic boundaries of Washington State. Similarly, a definition under the California AI Transparency Act requires the system to be publicly accessible within the state of California. Conversely, California SB 942 — California AI Transparency Act defines the term based on creating, coding, or producing the system and the size threshold alone, omitting an explicit geographic accessibility clause.
