Developers of frontier AI models (trained with more than 10^26 operations) developed, deployed or operating in New York; the framework and disclosure duties fall on those with more than $500 million in annual revenue.
The Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act was signed in December 2025 and rewritten by a chapter amendment signed on 27 March 2026. It covers developers of frontier AI models. Under the amended law (Chapter 96 of 2026), those with more than $500 million in annual revenue must publish a frontier AI framework, and all frontier developers must report critical safety incidents within 72 hours. Law-firm summaries report that the reports go to a new office at the Department of Financial Services.
The Attorney General can seek penalties of up to $1 million for a first violation and $3 million for later ones.
