Politico reports Governor Kathy Hochul will unveil next steps to on Monday
implement the RAISE Act and name the first senior official to the office that
will oversee its enforcement. The state law, framed as a milestone in AI safety
regulation, is scheduled to take effect in January. Hochul is positioning New
York’s approach in contrast to the federal government as concern about AI risks
grows. Some Washington officials favor restrictive measures to slow AI
development and strengthen protections; President Trump has sought to block
those efforts, calling AI doomsday claims "a hoax," and said over the weekend he
envisions a federal monitoring role but has not outlined specific proposals.
