OpenAI, Anthropic face new oversight as New York’s AI safety law takes effect

TechCrunch reports that New York opened a registration portal for large frontier AI developers, who must register by January 1, 2027, under the RAISE Act. It sets out the law's requirements and penalties, a new office to enforce it, and the state's new AI research center.

Why it matters

The same thing, for different readers.

What it means for you

From January 2027, New York will require the largest AI developers to publish safety plans and report serious incidents within 72 hours, with fines for those that do not.

For lawmakers

New York's DIGIT office will enforce the RAISE Act, whose 72-hour incident window is shorter than California's 15 days and whose penalties reach $3 million for repeat violations.

For researchers

New York's AI responsibility center at Binghamton will evaluate the safety, security and operation of advanced AI systems and work with DIGIT to review companies' safety frameworks.

Our notesThe headline names Anthropic, so conflict is true. TechCrunch says a state spokesperson declined to give specifics on enforcement against companies that fail to register. Its comparison figures for California SB 53 (15 days) and Illinois SB 315 are the outlet's own and were not checked.
