Reporting

FI$Cal

Each state entity will be responsible for identifying GenAI contracts in FI$Cal. For all transactions where GenAI is intentionally or incidentally purchased, the item description must start with "GenAI" before any other description is included in FI$Cal using the “Description” field.

GenAI inventory

All state entities are required to conduct and submit an inventory of all uses of GenAI – intentional and incidental – to the California Department of Technology (CDT). As of January 2025, CDT will be conducting and validating the inventory itself from the State GenAI intake process. Therefore, no action is required for State entities to comply with this reporting requirement. However, CDT may reach out to a department’s GenAI lead or Chief Information Officer if their consultation is needed to ensure the validity of the State’s GenAI inventory.
