Bill > SB00002

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence (AI) systems in Connecticut, focusing on preventing algorithmic discrimination and promoting responsible AI development and deployment. The bill defines key terms like "high-risk AI system" and "algorithmic discrimination," and imposes significant requirements on developers, integrators, and deployers of AI technologies. It requires developers to provide detailed documentation about their AI systems, including potential risks and limitations, and mandates that deployers conduct regular impact assessments to identify and mitigate potential discriminatory effects. The legislation creates an AI regulatory sandbox program to facilitate innovative AI testing, establishes a Connecticut AI Academy to promote digital literacy and AI workforce development, and requires state agencies to study how generative AI can improve government processes. Additionally, the bill prohibits the dissemination of certain synthetic images, requires disclosure when AI systems are interacting with consumers, and creates a working group to develop recommendations for future AI regulation. The bill also establishes a Connecticut Technology Advisory Board and requires the development of an algorithmic computer model to simulate and assess public policy decisions. Enforcement will be exclusively handled by the Attorney General, with an initial period focused on providing opportunities to cure violations before imposing penalties.
