AI Safety Legislation & State Policy Tracker

State legislatures are establishing binding AI safety standards while federal rules stall, evaluating models by training compute and statutory risk controls. Selecting California calibrates the model against Senate Bill 53 mandates. Compute at or above ten to the twenty-sixth floating point operations triggers frontier audit gates. Enabling mandatory third-party audits, kill-switch failovers, and whistleblower protection layers twenty-nine points onto the base baseline. The simulator yields an eighty-four score, classifying the model as restricted release required with two hundred fifty thousand dollars in estimated annual audit costs.
