Bill > HB4799

This bill, titled the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, mandates that large developers of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, referred to as "frontier developers," must create and publicly share a framework outlining how they manage catastrophic risks, ensure transparency, and maintain cybersecurity. Catastrophic risk is defined as a foreseeable and significant danger that could lead to widespread death, serious injury, or substantial property damage, such as AI assisting in the creation of weapons of mass destruction or acting without human oversight in ways that cause severe harm. The bill requires these developers to report critical safety incidents, which include unauthorized access to AI models leading to harm or the loss of control over an AI system, to the Attorney General within specific timeframes, with penalties for non-compliance. It also establishes a consortium to develop "ILCompute," a public cloud computing resource aimed at promoting the safe, ethical, and sustainable development of AI, and directs the Department of Innovation and Technology to review and recommend updates to AI-related definitions and standards. Finally, the bill makes conforming changes to the Freedom of Information Act to exempt certain AI safety-related information from public disclosure.
