New York AI Laws

Coverage from New Republic, Mashable, and others

New York AI Laws topic image

New York’s approach to AI regulation combines the RAISE Act, which sets safety, framework-publication, and incident-reporting duties for covered frontier AI developers, with other state rules and legislative proposals.

These include measures addressing employer reporting on AI use, notices for AI-generated outputs, and disclosure of synthetic performers in advertising. Governor Kathy Hochul and state oversight bodies are central to implementing the laws, while reporting requirements and penalties give regulators tools to enforce them. Together, these measures show how New York is addressing AI risks through both developer-focused safeguards and rules for specific uses of AI in business and public-facing content.
