human, would constitute the crime of murder, assault,
extortion, or theft, including theft by false pretense; or
(3) evading the control of its frontier developer or
user.
"Catastrophic risk" does not include a foreseeable and
material risk from any of the following:

context of an evaluation designed to elicit this behavior
and in a manner that demonstrates materially increased
catastrophic risk.
"Deploy" means to make a frontier model available to a
third party for use, modification, copying, or combination
with other software. "Deploy" does not include making a
frontier model available to a third party for the primary
purpose of researching, developing, or evaluating the frontier

Section 15. Reporting critical safety incidents.
(a) The Agency, in consultation with the Attorney General,
shall establish a mechanism to be used by a frontier developer
or a member of the public to report a critical safety incident
that includes all of the following:
(1) the date of the critical safety incident;
(2) the reasons the incident qualifies as a critical
safety incident;
(3) a short and plain statement describing the
critical safety incident; and
(4) whether the incident was associated with internal
use of a frontier model.
(b)(1) The Agency, in consultation with the Attorney
General, shall establish a mechanism to be used by a large
frontier developer to confidentially submit summaries of any
assessments of the potential for catastrophic risk resulting
from internal use of its frontier models.
(2) The Agency and the Attorney General shall take all
necessary precautions to limit access to any reports related
to internal use of frontier models to only personnel with a
specific need to know the information and to protect the
reports from unauthorized access.
(c) A frontier developer shall report any critical safety
incident pertaining to one or more of its frontier models to

SB0315 Enrolled - 13 - LRB104 06438 SPS 16474 b
the Agency and the Attorney General within 72 hours of the
frontier developer learning facts sufficient to establish a
reasonable belief that a critical safety incident has
occurred. The disclosure shall include: (i) the date of the
critical safety incident; (ii) the reasons the incident
qualifies as a critical safety incident as defined in this
Act; and (iii) a short and plain statement describing the
critical safety incident. If a frontier developer discovers
that a critical safety incident poses an imminent risk of
death or serious physical injury, the frontier developer shall
disclose that incident within 24 hours to an authority,
including any law enforcement agency or public safety agency
with jurisdiction, that is appropriate based on the nature of
that incident and as required by law. A frontier developer
that discovers information about a critical safety incident
after filing the initial report required by this subsection
(c) may file an amended report. A frontier developer is
encouraged, but not required, to report critical safety
incidents pertaining to foundation models that are not
frontier models.
(d) The Agency and the Attorney General shall review
critical safety incident reports submitted by frontier
developers and may review reports submitted by members of the
public.
