Report: California Law for Ethical and Accountable Regulation of Artificial Intelligence (CLEAR AI) Act

Share

The CLEAR AI Act proposes a balanced, forward-looking framework for AI governance in California that protects public safety without stifling innovation. Centered around CalSandbox, a supervised testbed for high-risk AI experimentation, and a Responsible AI Incentive Program, the Act empowers developers to build ethical systems through both regulatory support and positive reinforcement. Drawing from international models like the EU AI Act and sandbox initiatives in Singapore and the UK, CLEAR AI also integrates public transparency and equitable infrastructure access to ensure inclusive, accountable innovation. Together, these provisions position California as a global leader in safe, values-driven AI development.
