Sayfe.ai configures both.

California AB 723 (effective January 1, 2026) requires real estate listings using AI-altered photos to disclose the alteration and link to the original. On May 6, 2026, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (with Quebec, BC, Alberta) issued findings that OpenAI's pre-2026 ChatGPT training violated Canadian privacy law; OpenAI agreed to limits and quarterly reporting.
