The US state of California has enacted legislation that requires AI developers to disclose safety and security protocols for their artificial intelligence technologies.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the legislation into law earlier this week. Many AI development firms are based in the state.
Under the law, advanced AI developers with annual revenues in excess of 500 million dollars must publicize what safety measures they have put in place to manage and mitigate risks.
The law also requires the creation of a mechanism that allows employees to blow the whistle on significant risks to public health and safety.
In addition, developers must report critical safety incidents involving AI to the state government. They will face a maximum fine of one million dollars if they fail to comply.
The governor said in a statement that "California has proven that we can establish regulations to protect our communities while also ensuring that the growing AI industry continues to thrive."
In August last year, a bill calling for stricter AI regulations passed the California State legislature. But the governor vetoed it amid a backlash from tech giants, including Google and Meta.
