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

Summary

New York's RAISE Act takes effect January 2027, requiring frontier AI developers with over $500M annual revenue to register, publish safety frameworks, report critical incidents within 72 hours, and issue transparency reports. The newly formed Office of DIGIT will enforce penalties up to $1M per violation, while the $55M New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research at SUNY Binghamton independently evaluates advanced AI systems. California's SB 53 and Illinois' SB 315 impose similar mandates with varying incident-reporting timelines and audit requirements.
