NY RAISE Act
Confirms a de facto US frontier-safety standard emerging state-by-state: publish a safety framework, report incidents. Two of the three largest state economies now bind frontier labs — raising the stakes of the federal preemption battle.
What it is
New York's frontier-model law requires large developers to publish safety protocols and report serious safety incidents, following California's transparency-first template after gubernatorial amendments softened its liability provisions.
Signed December 2025 with amendments aligning it with California SB 53; obligations phase in during 2026.
