What it does
Enforces the RAISE Act, signed by Governor Hochul (late 2025) and substantially amended/overhauled in April 2026; it takes effect 1 January 2027. Requires large frontier developers to write, publish and follow a safety protocol addressing unreasonable risk of critical harm, to report safety incidents, and bars deploying a model posing unreasonable risk of critical harm. Enforcement is exclusively by the NY Attorney General through civil penalties; there is no private right of action.
Its powers
fine
Honest assessment
Not yet a live route. The law is on the books but does not bite until 1 Jan 2027, and unlike California there is no published AI-specific reporting channel and no equivalent of the SB 53 whistleblower category. Until the effective date, the real lever in New York is the legislature and the AG's rulemaking/guidance process, not a complaint form. Note also that the April 2026 overhaul materially changed the original 2025 text — any analysis based on the bill as first passed is out of date.
Notes
RAISE sits directly in the path of the December 2025 federal preemption Executive Order and the DOJ AI Litigation Task Force; its survivability is contested.
