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.
In their own words

From the source’s own text.
“It mandates that large frontier developers — companies with more than $500 million in annual revenue — have to publish safety frameworks on their websites, report critical safety incidents within 72 hours, and issue public model transparency reports.”
“Penalties can be as high as $1 million for one violation and $3 million for subsequent violations.”
“We’re building a national model for smart, sensible AI regulation, a model that puts communities above corporations and people above powerful technology,”
