Key provisions
- Developer means a person that has trained at least one AI model; critical harm means death or serious injury of 25 or more people or at least $1,000,000 in damage from a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapon or from conduct that would be a crime if committed by a human, with no meaningful human intervention

- A developer must not deploy a model if doing so creates an unreasonable risk of critical harm, must review its protocol annually and republish after material changes
- Safety incidents must be disclosed to the attorney general within 72 hours of the developer learning of them; knowingly false or misleading statements in these documents are prohibited
