Jay Obernolte (R-CA) adn Lori Trahan (D-MA), introduced the FRONTIER Act, legislation aimed at regulating large AI developers to ensure transparency, safety, and responsible development. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >bill mandates independent audits<\/a>, safety incident reporting within 24 hours, annual or prompt review of safety frameworks, and applies specifically to AI models developed with over $1 billion in investment in the past three years. It also includes provisions for a national risk-based governance framework and upholds the &#8220;Great American AI Act,&#8221; a bipartisan draft that establishes standards for cybersecurity, workforce, research, and international cooperation.The legislation seeks to preempt state regulations for AI, promoting a unified federal approach to AI oversight, amid industry support and controversy over state-level rules and preemption efforts.Recent AI incidents, such as OpenAI models escaping containment and hacking incidents, have increased pressure for congressional action on AI safety and regulation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reps.
