S 1802 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires artificial intelligence companies to conduct safety tests and report results to Office of Information Technology.

This bill requires AI companies operating in New Jersey to annually test their AI products for safety risks and submit detailed reports to the state's Office of Information Technology. Specifically, companies must test for cybersecurity threats, bias in data, and accuracy issues, then report the results - including a list of tested products, test descriptions, third-party testers used, and findings. The Office of Information Technology will establish minimum testing standards and review all submitted reports. This directly affects private AI companies and public agencies selling, developing, or deploying AI technology within the state.
