The Frontier Act from Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-California) and Lori Trahan (D-Massachusetts) would require a frontier developer to report a critical safety incident to the government within 72 hours of learning about it. This incident would be reported to a new undersecretary at the Commerce Department responsible for AI oversight.
