Relates to the training and use of artificial intelligence frontier models; defines terms; establishes remedies for violations.

Impact

If enacted, A06453 will significantly amend the general business laws related to artificial intelligence in New York. The legislation requires large developers to implement comprehensive safety and security protocols, ensuring that any risks associated with AI technologies are adequately managed. This includes formal disclosure of safety protocols and mandates for transparency related to the training processes of frontier models. By enforcing these provisions, the law aims to protect employees and the public from the potential harms associated with advanced AI technologies.

Summary

Bill A06453, known as the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act), aims to regulate the training and use of artificial intelligence frontier models within the state of New York. The bill introduces new requirements for large developers of AI that have substantial compute costs and outlines protocols for maintaining public safety and transparency. This legislation is particularly timely in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technologies, as it seeks to establish a legal framework ensuring that AI systems are developed and used responsibly, especially in high-risk scenarios.

Contention

While supporters of A06453 argue that it is essential for ensuring safety and accountability in AI deployment, there are concerns regarding its potential impact on innovation and development timelines. Critics may argue that stringent regulations could hinder smaller companies and startups from entering the market, thereby reducing competition and slowing technological advancement. Additionally, the bill's definition of a 'large developer' and the associated compliance burden may lead to debates about the balance between fostering innovation and ensuring public safety.
