SF 4636 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

License establishment for artificial intelligence independent verification organizations

This bill establishes a licensing requirement for independent verification organizations in Minnesota that assess artificial intelligence systems for safety and risk prevention. The legislation creates a new advisory council and authorizes the commissioner of commerce to develop rules and oversight procedures for these licensed entities. Organizations seeking a license must submit detailed plans outlining how they will evaluate AI models against best practices for preventing personal injury and property damage, including specific risk metrics and monitoring protocols. The bill defines key terms such as developers, deployers, and security vendors to clarify roles within the AI verification framework.
