New York Opens Registration Portal as RAISE Act Brings Frontier AI Labs Under State Oversight
New York opened a registration portal requiring large frontier AI developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic to register by January 1, 2027, under the RAISE Act. The law requires these companies to publish safety frameworks, report critical safety incidents within 72 hours and issue model transparency reports, with penalties of up to $1 million per violation and $3 million for subsequent violations. A new state office, DIGIT, and a new AI safety research center at Binghamton University will enforce the law and independently evaluate frontier systems, joining similar laws in California and Illinois.
Skynet Chance (−0.08 pp): Mandatory safety frameworks, 72-hour incident reporting and independent evaluation of frontier systems improve oversight and early detection of dangerous behavior. The growing patchwork of similar state laws in California and Illinois reinforces this effect.
Skynet Date (no change): The requirements are mainly about transparency and add only modest compliance friction. They do not restrict development, so the slowdown in pace is slight.
AGI Progress (+0.00 pp): The law imposes reporting and transparency obligations and does not affect underlying AI capabilities or research directions.
AGI Date (no change): Compliance costs and possible penalties add minor overhead for frontier labs. The effect is unlikely to meaningfully slow capability development.
