The New York Senate is progressing the RAISE Act, a bill designed to prevent artificial intelligence from causing large-scale harm. The legislation targets scenarios involving over 100 casualties or $1 billion in damages, marking a significant step for AI safety advocates. Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton and AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio are among its key supporters.

The bill introduces the first legally mandated transparency standards for leading U.S. AI labs. Unlike California''s vetoed SB 1047, the RAISE Act aims to balance safety with innovation, according to co-sponsor Senator Andrew Gounardes. "The window to implement guardrails is shrinking as AI evolves," he noted, emphasizing widespread industry recognition of these risks.
