What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Kathy Hochul announced the establishment of a full-time office to oversee the state's artificial intelligence initiatives, known as DIGIT. The office will implement the RAISE Act, a 2025 law, which mandates that large frontier AI developers register with the office and publish safety frameworks. These developers must also report critical safety incidents to the office within 72 hours, and the state can investigate safeguards such as AI 'kill switches.'
