California and New York set very high thresholds for AI incident disclosure
GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-07-25
California’s SB 53 and New York’s RAISE Act are setting very high thresholds for when large AI companies must disclose critical safety incidents.
The image notes that reporting is only triggered if an incident could cause more than 50 deaths or serious injuries, or over $1 billion in property damage. A LawAI policy director is quoted saying the bar is so high that only the most grievous incidents will be reported. The post frames this as a case where safety legislation was watered down, in part, by lobbying from the same companies implicated in the hacking issue being discussed.
