Frontier Risk Oversight, National Transparency, Independent Evaluation, and Reporting Act (FRONTIER Act) regulates frontier AI development.
The FRONTIER Act mandates federal oversight of frontier artificial intelligence (AI) development and deployment. It defines key terms like "frontier model" and "catastrophic risk." The Act requires large frontier developers to publish a frontier AI framework and retain independent verification organizations (IVOs) for ongoing assessments. It outlines procedures for IVO licensing, assessment reports, and corrective actions. The Act allows the Secretary of Commerce to issue emergency orders to suspend or restrict frontier AI activities posing imminent catastrophic risks.
