Tennessee SB2171 establishes transparency and safety requirements for artificial intelligence models and chatbots.

Tennessee SB2171, known as the "Artificial Intelligence Public Safety and Child Protection Transparency Act," mandates large frontier developers and large chatbot providers to publish safety plans detailing how they assess and mitigate catastrophic and child safety risks.
