The proposed "Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act" aims to enhance consumer protection by establishing a framework for managing risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It introduces new definitions and requirements for large frontier developers and large chatbot providers, mandating them to create and publish a public safety and child protection plan that details their assessment and mitigation strategies for catastrophic and child safety risks. The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability, requiring these entities to conduct thorough risk assessments, implement cybersecurity measures, and engage third-party evaluators. They must also publish summaries of their risk assessments and any modifications to their safety plans on their websites.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for reporting safety incidents to the Attorney General, protections for employees against retaliation for disclosing safety concerns, and civil penalties for violations. It establishes the Juvenile Mental Health Support Fund to support mental health services for youth. The bill amends existing laws regarding public records in Nebraska, specifying exemptions from public disclosure for certain records and clarifying the definition of "family member" related to access to records concerning deceased employees. The act is set to become operative on January 1, 2027, and repeals the original section 84-712.05 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, indicating a significant update to the state's public records law.
