The resolution proposes an interim study to assess the current landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) legislation at both state and federal levels, focusing on the potential risks AI poses to public safety and children. Recent developments have highlighted concerns regarding these risks, prompting the introduction of LB1083, which aims to establish the Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act. This act includes provisions for child and public safety, requiring AI companies to disclose their testing methods for mitigating severe risks and to report incidents involving harm caused by their systems to the Nebraska Attorney General.

The Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. The committee will evaluate existing legislation related to AI and develop recommendations for future legislative actions in Nebraska to address the complexities and evolving risks associated with AI technologies. Upon completion of the study, the committee is expected to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
