Senate Bill No. by Senator Miller, titled the "Protecting Louisiana's Infrastructure from Artificial Intelligence Risk Act," aims to create a regulatory framework for managing the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The bill introduces Chapter 54 to Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, which includes definitions, transparency requirements for AI models, protocols for managing catastrophic risks, and critical safety incident reporting. It mandates that large frontier AI developers establish and publish a comprehensive frontier AI framework that adheres to national and international standards, assesses catastrophic risks, and outlines mitigation strategies, particularly regarding cybersecurity and biosecurity threats. Developers are also required to conduct regular assessments and audits of their AI frameworks and publish transparency reports before deploying new or modified AI models.

Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for reporting critical safety incidents, requiring developers to notify the department within specified timeframes and establish public reporting mechanisms. It provides whistleblower protections to employees disclosing safety concerns and allows developers to redact sensitive information from published documents to protect trade secrets and national security, with justifications for such redactions. The act will take effect on January 1, 2027, and imposes civil penalties for non-compliance, with the attorney general authorized to pursue enforcement actions against violators. The law also includes confidentiality provisions for certain records, exempting them from public records laws until July 1, 2031, and mandates annual assessments of developments in frontier AI.
