Draft AI bill would impose strict liability for catastrophic harms and require pre-notice

Stephen Casper highlights a proposed rule for strict liability in catastrophic harms and critical safety incidents.

In the thread, he asks what people think about a series of draft provisions, including:

strict liability for catastrophic harms and critical safety incidents,
advance notice to the Commerce Department for internal or external deployments or high-risk evaluations of new or substantially modified frontier models,
public redacted versions of contracts between large developers and independent verification organizations,
rules to mitigate conflicts of interest in those verification organizations.

He notes that the last item appears to be missing from a three-page summary, though it may simply have been omitted for brevity.
