New York became the second state last year to enact a frontier model disclosure law when Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act. The new law requires frontier model providers to disclose certain safety processes for their models and report certain safety incidents to state regulators, with many similarities to California’s slate of AI laws passed last fall. The RAISE Act will take effect on January 1, 2027. This article covers who must comply with the RAISE Act, what transparency obligations the law creates, and how the law will be enforced.
