Reporting critical safety incidents.

HB4799
- 9 -
LRB104 20487 SPS 33959 b
1

(a) The Attorney General shall establish a mechanism to be
2
used by a frontier developer or a member of the public to
3
report a critical safety incident that includes all of the
4
following:
5

(1) the date of the critical safety incident;
6

(2) the reasons the incident qualifies as a critical
7

safety incident;
8

(3) a short and plain statement describing the
9

critical safety incident; and
10

(4) whether the incident was associated with internal
11

use of a frontier model.
12

(b) (1) The Attorney General shall establish a mechanism
13
to be used by a large frontier developer to confidentially
14
submit summaries of any assessments of the potential for
15
catastrophic risk resulting from internal use of its frontier
16

21
unauthorized access.
22

(c) A frontier developer shall report any critical safety
23
incident pertaining to one or more of its frontier models to
24
the Attorney General within 15 days of discovering the

Attorney General shall strongly consider any risks related to
19
trade secrets, public safety, cybersecurity of a frontier
20
developer, or national security when transmitting reports.
21

(f) A report of a critical safety incident submitted to
22
the Attorney General under this Section and a report of
23
assessments of catastrophic risk from internal use in
24
subsection (d) of Section 10 shall be exempt from disclosure
25
under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.

18

incident reporting that are substantially equivalent to,
19

or stricter than, those required by this Section;
20

(2) the law, regulation, or guidance document
21

described in paragraph (1) does not need to require
22

critical safety incident reporting to the State of
23

California; and
24

(3) the law, regulation, or guidance document is
25

intended to assess, detect, or mitigate the catastrophic
26

risk.

1

(i) (1) A frontier developer that intends to comply with
2
this Section by complying with the requirements of, or meeting
3
the standards stated by, a federal law, regulation, or
4
guidance document designated in subsection (h) shall declare
5
its intent to do so to the Attorney General.
6

(2) After a frontier developer has declared its intent
7
under paragraph (1), both of the following apply:
8

(A) the frontier developer shall be deemed in
9

compliance with this Section to the extent that the
10

frontier developer meets the standards of, or complies
11

with the requirements imposed or stated by, the designated
12

federal law, regulation, or guidance document until the
13

frontier developer declares the revocation of that intent
14

to the Attorney General or the Attorney General repeals a
15

relevant rule under subsection (j); and
16

(B) the failure by a frontier developer to meet the
17

standards of, or comply with the requirements stated by,

national and international standards:
9

(1) "frontier model", so that it applies to foundation
10

models at the frontier of artificial intelligence
11

development;
12

(2) "frontier developer", so that it applies to
13

developers of frontier models who are themselves at the
14

frontier of artificial intelligence development; and
15

(3) "large frontier developer", so that it applies to
16

well-resourced frontier developers.
17

(b) In making recommendations under this Section, the
18
Department of Innovation and Technology shall take into
19
account all of the following:
20

4

determine, before beginning to train or deploy a
5

foundation model, whether that person will be subject to
6

the definition as a frontier developer or as a large
7

frontier developer with an aim toward allowing earlier
8

determinations if possible;
9

(4) the complexity of determining whether a person or
10

foundation model is covered, with an aim toward allowing
11

simpler determinations if possible; and
12

(5) the external verifiability of determining whether
13

a person or foundation model is covered, with an aim
14

toward definitions that are verifiable by parties other
15

than the frontier developer.
16

(c) Upon developing recommendations under this Section,
17
the Department of Innovation and Technology shall submit a
18
report to the General Assembly and to the Governor.

19

Section 25.
Civil penalty.
20

(a) A large frontier developer that fails to publish or
21
transmit a compliant document required to be published or
22
transmitted under this Act, makes a statement in violation of
23
subsection (e) of Section 10, fails to report an incident as
24
required by Section 15, or fails to comply with its own
25
frontier artificial intelligence framework shall be subject to
