UT · Effective 2024-05-01 · Utah Code §§ 13-2-12, 13-72-101 et seq.; SB 149 (2024)
Utah was the first state to require regulated professionals (e.g., doctors, lawyers, accountants) to clearly disclose when consumers are interacting with generative AI, and to make companies liable under existing consumer-protection law for any deception their GenAI commits. It also created the Office of AI Policy and a regulatory sandbox.

Utah · Effective 2019-05-14 · Utah Code §§ 41-26-101 et seq.

Utah S.B. 226 (must disclose you're talking to AI on request; AI use no excuse)
Utah · Effective 2025-05-07 · Utah Laws 2025, S.B. 226; Utah Code 13-75-101 to 13-75-106
Utah requires businesses using generative AI in consumer interactions to come clean about it. If a consumer clearly asks whether they are dealing with AI, a supplier must disclose they are interacting with generative AI and not a human. People in licensed occupations must prominently disclose AI use up front in 'high-risk' interactions (health, financial, legal, mental-health advice or sensitive data). A safe harbor applies for clear self-identification, and it is no defense that the AI made the offending statement.

Utah HB 276 Provenance Act (AI-content labels + platform provenance duties)
Utah · Effective 2027-01-01 · Utah Code 13-72c-101 to -301, 63A-16-215 (H.B. 276, 2026)
This part of Utah's AI Modifications law requires large generative-AI providers to embed a hidden (latent) disclosure in AI-generated or substantially AI-altered image, audio, and video content. Large online platforms must detect provenance data, let users inspect it, and must not strip compliant provenance or digital signatures. From January 1, 2028, capture-device makers must embed a latent disclosure by default. The law also directs the state CIO to set provenance standards for digital content on public-facing state-agency webpages.

Utah AI Policy Act
Utah · Effective 2024-05-01 · Utah Code § 13-72-101 et seq. (SB 149, 2024; amended 2025)
The first state generative-AI consumer law: businesses can't hide behind AI — they remain liable under consumer protection law for what their chatbots say. People in regulated occupations (like healthcare providers) must proactively disclose AI use in high-risk interactions, and any business must disclose AI use when clearly asked.
-

Authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson sued Anthropic over its use of pirated-book datasets to train Claude.

The piracy claims (LibGen ingestion) were not adjudicated to a final ruling — they proceeded toward settlement. In September 2025 Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion class settlement, though Judge Alsup denied preliminary approval without prejudice pending additional information on the claims protocol and attorney fees.

Circuit affirmed in March 2025 that the Copyright Act's human-authorship requirement is dispositive as a matter of statutory law. AI cannot be a copyright author under U.S. law.

Thomson Reuters v. Ross
D. Del. · Effective 2025-02-11 · Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbH v. Ross Intelligence, Inc., No. 1:20-cv-00613 (D. Del. Feb. 11, 2025)
Thomson Reuters sued legal-research startup Ross Intelligence in 2020 for copying Westlaw headnotes to train a competing AI legal-research tool. In February 2025, Judge Stephanos Bibas (sitting by designation) granted summary judgment to Thomson Reuters on direct copyright infringement and rejected Ross's fair-use defense — the first definitive U.S. ruling on AI-training fair use. No jury trial occurred: a 2023 opinion had denied summary judgment and pointed toward trial, but the court invited renewed briefing and reversed course in the 2025 ruling.

United States · Effective 2024-02-08 · 47 U.S.C. § 227; FCC 24-17
