Background

California is leading the world in artificial intelligence innovation and research through companies large and small and through the state’s remarkable public and private universities.

Artificial intelligence, including new advances in foundation models, has the potential to catalyze innovation and the rapid development of a wide range of benefits for Californians and the California economy, including advances in medicine, wildfire forecasting and prevention, and climate science, and to push the bounds of human creativity and capacity.

While the major artificial intelligence developers have already voluntarily established the creation, use, and publication of frontier AI frameworks as an industry best practice, not all developers are providing reporting that is consistent and sufficient to ensure necessary transparency and protection of the public. Mandatory, standardized, and objective reporting by frontier developers is required to provide the government and the public with timely and accurate information.

Transparency in Frontier AI Act Reporting

The above link will direct you to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Service’s reporting portal where members of the public and frontier developers can confidentially submit the following reports required under the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act.

• Critical safety incidents.
• Periodic summaries of any assessments of the potential for catastrophic risk resulting from internal use of frontier models.

Collective safety will depend in part on frontier developers taking due care in their development and deployment of frontier models proportional to the scale of the foreseeable risks.

Business and Professions Code section 22757.12(d): A large frontier developer shall transmit to the Office of Emergency Services a summary of any assessment of catastrophic risk resulting from internal use of its frontier models every three months or pursuant to another reasonable schedule specified by the large frontier developer and communicated in writing to the Office of Emergency Services with written updates, as appropriate.
