New York has opened the registration portal for its RAISE Act, one of the most significant US AI safety laws. Frontier developers with over $500 million in annual revenue — like OpenAI and Anthropic — must register by January 1, 2027.
Key provisions:
- Publish safety frameworks on their websites and issue public model transparency reports
- Report critical safety incidents within 72 hours
- Enforcement by the new Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity, and Trust (DIGIT)
- Penalties up to $1 million per violation and $3 million for subsequent violations; unregistered companies face enforcement action
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the portal at a press briefing.
