On September 21, 2026, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced New York’s next steps in implementing the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act, which establishes new safety, transparency and reporting requirements for developers of frontier models. New York is not alone, as California, Connecticut and Illinois have also enacted similar laws. The RAISE Act has significant overlap with California’s Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 53), a law we discuss, along with other recent California AI legislation, in our prior article, New California AI Laws.
