Today, frontier AI developers have no legal obligation to disclose anything about their safety and security protocols to government, let alone to the public. When a company releases a new AI system more powerful than any system before, it is entirely optional under present law for them to tell consumers what dangerous things that system can do. And if a company does choose to adopt a safety policy or publish a model card, there is no force of law to guarantee the safety policy is being implemented or that the model card is accurate. This would all change under SB 53. We'd no longer have to rely on AI developers' good will to share critical safety information with the public.

AI Verified The quote clearly supports a legal requirement for frontier AI developers to publicly disclose safety information around release/deployment. It says disclosure is currently optional and praises SB 53 because "we'd no longer have to rely on AI developers' good will to share critical safety information with the public," which directly implies support for requiring publication of safety evaluations before deployment. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3mo ago

AI Verified The quote argues there should be a legal duty to disclose safety-related information: developers now have 'no legal obligation to disclose' it, and under SB 53 they would have to 'share critical safety information with the public' when releasing powerful systems. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3mo ago

AI Verified Verified: the passage appears verbatim in Miles Kodama’s article “Introducing SB53.info” on his site, with the exact text matching the submitted quote at lines 35–36. Miles Kodama’s site index lists that article on July 25, 2025, and sb53.info identifies the project as “annotated by Miles Kodama,” supporting the attribution. I did not find the full quote verbatim on the sb53.info homepage itself, but I did find it on this closely related primary source.

AI labs should conduct risk assessments before high-stakes internal deployment of frontier models

The mainstream take is that an AI lab should assess risk before deploying a new model externally. But I think risk assessment should come way earlier in the model lifecycle. Compare the situation with dangerous bio. We wouldn't find it acceptable for...
