RAISE Act Sponsor Alex Bores: States Can't Wait for DC on AI Regulation
coolbern · reddit · 2026-09-15
New York Assemblymember Alex Bores, author of the RAISE Act, lays out the case for state-level AI regulation:
- States can't wait for DC: with federal legislation stalled, states must act to protect the public, and New York aims to be a model.
- Industry weakened the bill: he details how AI industry lobbying watered down New York's landmark AI safety law, trimming key safety assessment and disclosure provisions.
- 'Time to go bold': Bores urges a more aggressive legislative posture and pushes back on claims that regulation stifles innovation.
A deep firsthand look at the fight over US state-level AI safety legislation.
