New York Department of Financial Services Implements Responsible AI Safety and Education Act Registration Requirements

On September 21, 2026, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced implementation steps for the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act, the state's nation-leading artificial intelligence (AI) safety legislation. Beginning in November 2026, New York will direct large frontier AI developers to register with the state and prepare for compliance with strict transparency, safety, and incident reporting requirements. Effective January 1, 2027, AI companies must comply with these standards and provide regular reporting to the state's new Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity and Trust (DIGIT), established within the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). The RAISE Act requires large frontier AI developers to establish and publish safety and transparency frameworks; report critical safety incidents to DIGIT within 72 hours; file quarterly assessments of catastrophic risks; and register with DIGIT, filing disclosure statements at least biennially and paying applicable assessments. The DIGIT Office will produce annual public reports summarising incident reports received, observations about frontier model safety, and recommended legislative changes. The public may also file suspected critical safety incident reports with DIGIT, which may transmit them to other government authorities as appropriate. Governor Hochul appointed Marc Gilman as Deputy Director for RAISE Act implementation. Gilman, who previously served as General Counsel and Vice President of Compliance at Theta Lake, Inc., is the first full-time hire of DIGIT. Additional full-time staff will join the office in coming weeks and months. The Governor indicated she will explore further measures to strengthen New York's AI safety regulations in the coming months, building on the RAISE Act's existing framework.
