AI is evolving faster than any technology in human history, driving scientific advances, developing life-changing medicines, unlocking new creative pathways and automating mundane tasks. But there is also growing consensus amongst experts that, in the wrong hands, it also poses catastrophic risks to humanity.   Regulations are needed to control companies that build AI as they pose large-scale societal risks, such as cyber-attacks and bio weapons use. The RAISE Act responds to these threats by requiring AI companies to develop safety protocols and risk evaluations, third party reviews of such safety plans, protections from retaliation against employees for identifying safety concerns, and disclosures of major security incidents would restrict societal risks posed by artificial intelligence.

FFDC advocates for passage of the RAISE Act, and all relevant stakeholders including government officials, community organizations, and the public to take any and all steps to assist in the passage of safety policies and regulations of artificial intelligence for the protection of public safety.
