Republicans in the Utah Legislature are advancing the “AI Transparency Act,” a measured bill that tries to impose basic accountability on the biggest, most powerful AI developers in the world.

The bill, H.B. 286, does not create a new regulatory agency. It does not micromanage technical design choices. It does not hand trial lawyers a private right of action. It focuses on transparency, safety planning, reporting serious safety incidents, and protecting whistleblowers who sound the alarm when something goes wrong.
