New York Signs off on AI Safety Legislation
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
- New York has enacted the RAISE Act, establishing safety regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) that will take effect on January 1, 2027. This legislation aims to counter former President Trump's recent executive order aimed at reducing state-level regulations on AI, asserting that such regulations are excessive.
- The RAISE Act reflects New York's commitment to ensuring that AI developers prioritize safety and accountability, particularly those investing over $100 million in training, thereby addressing growing concerns about the potential risks associated with AI technologies.
- This legislative move highlights the ongoing tension between state and federal governance of AI, as Trump's administration seeks to centralize regulation and eliminate what it perceives as a confusing patchwork of state laws. The contrasting approaches underscore a broader debate on how best to balance innovation with public safety in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
