The proposed bill, titled the "Responsible Artificial Intelligence Safety and Education Act" or the "RAISE Act," establishes comprehensive safety and disclosure requirements for developers of artificial intelligence (AI) models in Minnesota. It defines key terms related to AI, including "artificial intelligence," "developer," and "critical harm," and mandates that developers implement a written safety and security protocol before deploying any AI model. This protocol must include measures to reduce the risk of critical harm, document testing procedures, and ensure compliance with the law. Developers are also required to disclose any safety incidents to the attorney general within 72 hours and must not deploy AI models that pose an unreasonable risk of critical harm.

The bill empowers the attorney general to enforce these regulations by bringing civil actions against violators, with penalties reaching up to $30 million for repeat offenses. Additionally, it provides a private right of action for individuals harmed by violations, allowing them to seek damages and equitable relief. Overall, the RAISE Act aims to enhance the safety and accountability of AI technologies while protecting the public from potential risks associated with their deployment.
