Checking in on Recent AI Regulatory Efforts

In this episode of "Paul Weiss Waking Up With AI," Katherine Forrest and Anna Gressel discuss New York's Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act), which has passed both chambers of the legislature and awaits the governor's signature. If enacted, it would regulate the training and development of frontier AI models, defined by technical capabilities and compute costs. The act requires large AI developers to implement safety protocols, report serious safety incidents, and publish their safety measures. The New York AG can bring civil penalties for non-compliance. The discussion also compares the RAISE Act to California's vetoed SB 1047 and touches on the potential federal budget bill with a 10-year moratorium on state AI laws, highlighting the ongoing debate and efforts to regulate AI at both state and federal levels. The next episode will discuss the new Anthropic decision on fair use.
