Requires major AI companies to share details about their systems, boosting safety and privacy for users.

This bill would require companies that develop and widely use large artificial intelligence (AI) systems to publicly share important details about how they work. This means people would get more information about AI safety, user privacy, and potential risks, especially for minors and vulnerable users. The Federal Trade Commission would set the rules for what information must be shared.

What Would Change

Today, no federal law requires AI companies to publicly share details about their systems' safety, privacy, or risks. If this bill becomes law, major AI developers and companies using these systems would have to make detailed public disclosures. These would be overseen by the Federal Trade Commission, providing consumers and researchers with more transparency about how AI works and its potential impacts.

Key Provisions

Requires major AI developers to publicly share details about their AI models, including safety, privacy, and risk evaluations.
Requires companies that widely use these major AI systems to also make similar public disclosures.
Gives the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) the power to create rules for these disclosures and to identify AI systems that pose significant risks.
Requires AI developers to disclose how they protect minors and vulnerable users, including privacy measures and safeguards against harmful content.
Makes violations of these disclosure rules subject to enforcement by the FTC as unfair or deceptive business practices.
Requires companies that significantly change existing AI models to also make public disclosures about those changes.
