New York’s state legislature is reviewing two bills aimed at regulating emerging technology. The NY FAIR News Act would require any news content substantially created with generative artificial intelligence to carry a disclaimer and be approved by a human editor, while also mandating disclosure of AI usage to newsroom staff. A separate measure, S9144, seeks to impose a three‑year moratorium on permits for new data centers, citing rapid growth in electricity demand and recent rate increases for utility customers. Together, the proposals address both content integrity and energy infrastructure concerns. Leer más →

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the RAISE Act, a law aimed at holding large artificial intelligence developers accountable for model safety. The legislation requires companies to disclose safety protocols and report incidents within 72 hours, while establishing fines of up to $1 million for a first violation and $3 million for subsequent breaches. An oversight office within the Department of Financial Services will monitor compliance and issue annual reports. The governor also approved two additional AI measures targeting the entertainment sector, even as President Trump pushes for a national, less burdensome standard. Leer más →

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed SB 53, a first‑in‑the‑nation law that imposes new transparency and safety reporting requirements on large AI labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google DeepMind. The measure mandates disclosure of safety protocols, establishes whistleblower protections, and creates a reporting channel for critical safety incidents to California’s Office of Emergency Services. While Anthropic backed the bill, Meta and OpenAI opposed it, with OpenAI even issuing an open letter urging the governor not to sign. The legislation arrives as other states, including New York, consider similar AI safeguards. Leer más →

New York has moved to protect minors online by detailing rules for the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act.
