The rule, announced by Glacis Technologies on October 5, 2026, mandates receipts under the OVERT standard—a royalty-free, open technical framework Glacis developed—to verify AI operations without exposing raw data or model weights. The receipts confirm a control ran and reported a decision but do not guarantee correctness, safety, or legal compliance, according to the state’s evaluator framework.\n\nThe policy applies to vendors selected by the office, whose agreements specify covered systems and events. Six evaluators, including Glacis, the Coalition for Health AI, and Stanford CERC, oversee pilots under 12-month terms. Evaluators must report patient-safety concerns independently and face audits by the office. OVERT’s stewardship is transitioning to the Coalition for Health AI and AIGovOps Foundation, with Glacis retaining a nonvoting editorial role. The transfer remains pending a signed commencement certificate and a 30-day public comment period.","keyPoints":["Utah mandates signed OVERT receipts for AI inference/control evaluations in its sandbox program","Receipts prove a control ran and reported a decision but not safety or correctness","OVERT stewardship shifts to Coalition for Health AI and AIGovOps Foundation by 2027"],"whyItMatters":"This sets a precedent for verifiable AI accountability in real-world deployments, forcing transparency without exposing proprietary data.
