Bill Summary
This bill requires the Office of Information Technology to establish minimum requirements for an artificial intelligence safety test and requires artificial intelligence companies to subject artificial intelligence technology to a safety test and report the safety test results to the Office of Information Technology. The bill also requires the Office of Information Technology to review each annual report submitted by an artificial intelligence company. An "artificial intelligence company" is defined as a private entity or public agency that sells, develops, deploys, uses, or offers for sale artificial intelligence technology in the State of New Jersey. Under this bill, artificial intelligence companies are required to annually subject all artificial intelligence technology sold, developed, deployed, used, or offered for sale in the State to a safety test and submit a report to the Office of Information Technology containing: (1) a list of all artificial intelligence technologies tested; (2) a description of all safety tests conducted; (3) a list of all third parties used to conduct safety tests, if any; and (4) the results of all safety tests administered.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that companies and public agencies in New Jersey that develop, sell, deploy, use, or offer for sale artificial intelligence (AI) technology must conduct annual safety tests on all such technology. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) will establish minimum requirements for these safety tests, which will assess AI for potential biases, inaccuracies, and cybersecurity threats, including an analysis of data sources and potential legal violations. AI companies must then submit a report to the OIT detailing the AI technologies tested, the methods used, any third parties involved in testing, and the results. The OIT is responsible for reviewing these annual reports and will also adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these requirements, with the act taking effect six months after enactment.
