Senior Technical and Policy Advisor at Transparency Coalition; advocates accountable AI governance and state leadership.
“For too long, the public has had to simply trust that the most powerful AI developers are testing their systems responsibly. SB 315 replaces blind trust with verifiable disclosure,” said Steve Wimmer, Senior Technical and Policy Advisor for the Transparency Coalition. “Asking the largest frontier developers to assess catastrophic risks and report serious incidents isn't a burden on innovation; it's the baseline of accountability we already expect from every other high-impact industry.”
