ONE HUNDRED NINTH LEGISLATURE
SECOND SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 421
Introduced by Storer, 43; Andersen, 49; Bosn, 25; Hardin, 48; Kauth, 31;
Lippincott, 34; Lonowski, 33; Sorrentino, 39; von Gillern, 4.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to propose an interim study to
examine the current status of artificial intelligence legislation occurring at
the state and federal levels to address risks to public safety and to determine
what action Nebraska should take to address such risks.
Recent events and statements from artificial intelligence companies and
independent experts indicate that there are potential risks to public safety
and children that could be caused by artificial intelligence. Artificial
intelligence companies are working to create protections against such risks.
LB1083 was introduced in the One Hundred Ninth Legislature, Second
Session, to adopt the Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Risk Management
Act. Such act included child safety and public safety provisions intended to
cover the most widely used chatbots and the most advanced artificial
intelligence systems and included requirements for select companies to publish
how such companies test for and protect against severe risks to children and
the public. Further, the legislation, if passed, would have required companies
to self-report to the Nebraska Attorney General if an advanced artificial
intelligence system acts in certain dangerous ways and harms a child or causes
a public safety incident. The legislation would also have given the Attorney
General the authority to enforce these requirements.
This study shall examine the status of federal and state legislation
relating to artificial intelligence in order to facilitate the development of
future Nebraska legislation to address the evolving complexity of risks posed
by uses of artificial intelligence.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED NINTH
