AI Summary

This bill, known as the Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act, aims to increase transparency and safety in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) by requiring large AI companies to develop and publish plans to manage risks, particularly those that could harm children or cause widespread damage. Specifically, "large frontier developers" (companies that train advanced AI models with significant computing power and high revenue) and "large chatbot providers" (companies offering AI chatbots with many users, including minors) must create and publicly share "public safety and child protection plans" detailing how they assess and mitigate "covered risks," which include "catastrophic risks" (potential for mass death, injury, or significant property damage) and "child safety risks" (harm to minors interacting with AI). These companies must also report "safety incidents" (child safety incidents or critical safety incidents, such as unauthorized access to AI models or loss of control) to the Attorney General and disclose summaries of their risk assessments before deploying new AI models or substantially modifying existing ones. The bill also establishes a mechanism for reporting safety incidents, protects employees who report potential violations or dangers from retaliation, and allows the Attorney General to bring enforcement actions with civil penalties. Additionally, it amends existing law to ensure that notifications and summaries of AI risk assessments submitted to the Attorney General are not publicly disclosed, thus protecting sensitive information while still promoting transparency in the AI industry. The bill also creates the Juvenile Mental Health Support Fund, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, to fund juvenile mental health services.
