Bill > SB3312

This bill, titled the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act, establishes regulations for the development and deployment of advanced AI systems in Illinois. It defines key terms such as "frontier model" (an AI model trained with a significant amount of computing power), "frontier developer" (a person who trains such a model), and "large frontier developer" (a frontier developer with over $500 million in annual gross revenue). Large frontier developers are mandated to create and publicly share a "frontier AI framework," which is a set of protocols designed to manage, assess, and mitigate "catastrophic risks" – defined as foreseeable risks that could lead to mass casualties or significant property damage, such as AI assisting in weapon creation or operating without human oversight in ways that cause harm. These developers must also report critical safety incidents, which include unauthorized access to model weights leading to harm or harm resulting from catastrophic risks, to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (Agency), with penalties for non-compliance. The bill also directs the Department of Innovation and Technology to review and recommend updates to AI definitions and standards, and establishes a consortium to develop "ILCompute," a public cloud computing resource aimed at fostering safe and equitable AI development. Finally, it amends the Freedom of Information Act to exempt certain information related to critical safety incidents and catastrophic risk assessments from public disclosure.
