| What the hell? It establishes the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act to regulate the development and use of advanced AI models, termed "covered models." So now LLMs will be subject to the whims of an unelected governing body and you will comply under threat of vague penalties? Requires entities operating computing clusters to assess if customers intend to use resources to deploy covered models and maintain related records. If your judgement is wrong you are fined and go to jail? If a model does not qualify for exemption, developers must implement cybersecurity protections, shutdown capabilities, safety protocols, and capability testing. Annual compliance certification to the Frontier Model Division is required. GTFO. Developers must report AI safety incidents to the Frontier Model Division within 72 hours of occurrence. Oof. Creates the Frontier Model Division within the Department of Technology to oversee compliance, issue guidance, review safety reports, and advise the Attorney General and Legislature on AI matters. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Requires entities operating computing clusters to assess if customers intend to use resources to deploy covered models and maintain related records. There goes our freedom of association. Allows the Attorney General to bring civil actions for violations, with potential penalties including injunctions, damages, and fines up to 30% of model development cost. Just lovely. Directs the Department of Technology to commission consultants to create CalCompute, a public cloud computing cluster for AI research and innovation. Good luck with that! LLM model development will be buried by red tape in California. |
