Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 53)

TFAIA
active

An AI safety transparency law rather than a privacy law: large frontier AI developers must publish a framework for managing catastrophic risk, publish transparency reports when releasing frontier models, and report critical safety incidents to the Office of Emergency Services. Included here because it is one of California's core AI statutes.
