SB 833: Critical infrastructure: artificial intelligence systems: human oversight.
The bill aims to establish a human oversight mechanism for artificial intelligence systems in critical infrastructure. An operator, defined as a state agency responsible for operating critical infrastructure, must deploy a covered AI system and establish a human monitor to review and approve any plan or action proposed by the AI system before execution. The human monitor must conduct an annual assessment of the AI systems and submit a summary of the findings to the relevant department. The bill also requires specialized training in AI safety protocols and risk management techniques for oversight personnel. The bill makes findings and declarations related to its provisions, including the need to protect public interest and limit access to public meetings and writings.
