NEW YORK TOLD THE AI LABS TO REGISTER — OR PAY UP TO $3 MILLION

New York opened a registration portal on November 10 for its RAISE Act, the state's AI safety and transparency law. Large frontier developers — companies with more than $500 million in annual revenue, a group TechCrunch names as including OpenAI and Anthropic — must register by January 1, 2027, when the law takes full effect.

Once covered, the labs must publish their safety frameworks, report critical safety incidents within 72 hours and issue public model transparency reports. The newly formed Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity, and Trust (DIGIT) runs the program, with penalties up to $1 million for a first violation and $3 million for later ones.
