Parents Urge New York Governor to Sign AI Safety Bill Without Weakening Changes
By

Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
A coalition of over 150 parents is urging New York Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act without changes. The bill, which passed both state legislative chambers in June, would require major AI developers like Meta, OpenAI, Deepseek, and Google to create safety plans and follow transparency rules for reporting safety incidents. However, Governor Hochul has reportedly proposed a near-total rewrite that would make the legislation more favorable to tech companies, which parents describe as 'minimalist guardrails' that should set a standard for AI safety regulation.
