Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote directly mandates that developers of covered models annually retain an independent third-party auditor, gives the auditor access rights, and requires an audit report, which matches a policy of requiring third-party audits for major AI systems. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The quote explicitly mandates audits: a developer "shall annually retain a third-party auditor" and the auditor "shall produce an audit report," which clearly supports requiring third-party audits. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified Verified: the quoted language appears verbatim in SB 1047, section 22603(e)(1), (3), and (4)(A)-(B). The official California Legislative Information text page shows the exact wording at lines 263-271, and the provided LegiScan page also contains the same text. Because this is official bill text from the California Legislature’s 2023-2024 Regular Session, attributing it to the California State Legislature is substantively correct.

AI Verified Verified. legiscan URL returned 403 but web search results confirm the exact text appears verbatim in California SB 1047 (Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier AI Models Act, 2023-2024 session). The passage about "Beginning January 1, 2026, a developer of a covered model shall annually retain a third-party auditor...", access to unredacted materials, and the audit report containing a detailed compliance assessment plus noncompliance findings/recommendations matches the bill text word-for-word. Year 2024 correct (bill text from the 2023-24 session; it was ultimately vetoed by Newsom on 9/29/2024, but the attributable legislative author is the CA State Legislature which passed it). Vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" is exactly what the bill provision does. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
