Fordel StudiosNew York governor Kathy Hochul signs RAISE Act to regulate AI safety
What Happened
The bill will require large AI developers to publish information about their safety protocols and report safety incidents to the state within 72 hours.
Our Take
Honestly? Regulatory theater. The 72-hour incident reporting is the tell—aggressive enough to look tough, unworkable at scale.
What's even a "large developer"? Llama-7B on a laptop? States want credit without funding enforcement infrastructure. California and New York both eyeing the same territory but neither building actual audit capacity.
Good press, zero enforcement teeth. We'll see how this plays when the first startup misses the window by 71 hours.
What To Do
Watch when the first company misses the 72-hour window—that's when you'll know if it's real policy or theater.
