California Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act - SB.1047 | Legislation | United States | Feb 7, 2024 | Passed California State Senate | Jun 19, 2024 |
Summary
The bill seeks to mitigate large potential risks posed by AI models trained using large amounts of computing power by requiring the developers to demonstrate the safety of the system. Per an analysis from Brookings, developers unable to make such a demonstration would be subject to "additional requirements, including submitting yearly certifications of compliance with safety standards, implementing emergency shutdown protocols, and strengthening cybersecurity protections to prevent unauthorized access."
The bill also requires "providers of computing clusters to verify the identity and goal of customers seeking large amounts of computing power for AI training. It would also mandate that developers report safety incidents, including hazardous use and model theft." Finally, it would create the Frontier Model Division within the Department of Technology to oversee all the implementation and empower the state attorney general to prosecute AI-related damages and threats to public safety.
