Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to the training and use of artificial intelligence frontier models
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act), establishes comprehensive regulations for the development and deployment of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically targeting "frontier models" which are high-computation AI systems with significant computational costs. The legislation requires large AI developers to implement detailed safety and security protocols before deploying such models, including comprehensive testing procedures to evaluate potential risks of critical harm, such as the potential for autonomous dangerous actions or misuse. Developers must publish redacted safety protocols, retain extensive documentation, conduct annual reviews of their protocols, and promptly disclose any safety incidents to state authorities within 72 hours. The bill defines "critical harm" as scenarios involving potential large-scale human casualties or significant property damage, and imposes strict transparency requirements and potential civil penalties of up to $10 million for first violations and $30 million for subsequent violations. The New York Attorney General is empowered to bring civil actions for violations, though the bill explicitly does not create a private right of action. The legislation applies only to AI models developed or operating in New York State and includes provisions to protect trade secrets while maintaining robust safety oversight, with the ultimate goal of preventing potentially dangerous AI deployments and ensuring responsible technological development.
