Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Big penalties and Attorney General enforcement for AI

The Attorney General can sue to enforce this law. Civil penalties are up to $10 million for a first violation and up to $30 million for later ones. The Attorney General can also seek court orders to stop violations. Developers may not knowingly make false or materially misleading statements in required filings. Private parties do not get a right to sue under this law.

Public AI safety plans and quick incident reports

Large developers must post a redacted safety plan for the public and send it to the New York Attorney General and the state’s Homeland Security division. On request, they must give those agencies access to the plan, with only federal‑law redactions. Developers must review safety plans every year and republish them if they make material changes. They must also report any safety incident within 72 hours, including the date, why it qualifies, and a short plain‑language description.

Safety plans for large frontier AI developers

Large AI developers (those that trained at least one frontier model and spent over $100 million on compute) must have a written safety and security plan before any deployment. They must put in safeguards so deployment does not create an unreasonable risk of critical harm. Critical harm means mass injury (100+ people) or about $1 billion in damage. Developers must record the tests they used to assess the model and keep the results. They must keep an unredacted copy of the safety plan and test records while the model is deployed and for five years after.

Applies in New York starting in 90 days

This law applies only to frontier models that are developed, deployed, or operating in whole or in part in New York. The law takes effect 90 days after it became law.
