## Summary

New York has launched what it describes as the first state-run programme in the US to independently test advanced AI systems. The initiative aims to assess risks and give public officials evidence for decisions, reducing reliance on companies’ own evaluations.

The work will be led by Binghamton University’s New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research, with more than 80 scientists and computing resources from the state’s $500 million Empire AI partnership. Researchers can only assess information companies make public. From 1 January 2027, the RAISE Act will require large AI developers to register, publish safety frameworks and transparency reports, and report critical safety incidents within 72 hours.
