New York passes a bill to prevent AI-fueled disasters

New York State Law makers Pass a bill The aim on Thursday is to prevent border AI models from OpenAI, Google and ethnographic, preventing contributing to disaster conditions including more than 100 people’s deaths or injury or more than $ 1 billion compensation.

Raise Act Pass is representing a win for the AI ​​Protection Movement, which contains Ground has lost in recent years Silicon Valley and Trump have given priority to speed and innovation as administration. Nobel Prize winners Jeffrey Hinton and AI Research Agrani Joshua Benjio have championed the Protection lawyers. If it becomes a law, the bill will establish the first set of values ​​of legally compulsory transparency for the first Frontier AI labs in America.

Raising Act contains some of the same provisions and goals Controversial AI Protection Bill of California, SB 1047, Which was the end of which VetoThe However, Bill’s co-sponsor, New York State Senator Andrew Gounders TechConch told Techchenchar that he deliberately designed the law in such a way that it did not cool the innovation among startups or academic researchers-a general criticism of SB 1047.

“The window to place the guard is rapidly shrinking,” says Senator Garades. “ [AI] Best say that these risks are incredibly likely […] It is worrying. “

The raising law is now directed to the desk of the Governor of New York, Kathy Hacchul, where the bill can sign the law, send it back for amendments, or fully veto it.

If the law is signed, New York’s AI Protection Bill will have to publish complete security and protection reports on their border AI models for the world’s largest AI labs. In this bill, AI labs are also needed to report the safety incident, such as AI model behavior or bad actors stealing AI model, if they happen. If technology agencies fail to live according to this standard, the raising law gives the New York attorney general the ability to bring a $ 30 million citizen a fine.

The goal of the raising law is to narrow the largest companies in the world – whether they are based in California (Open A and Google) or China (like DIPSEC and Alibaba). Bill’s transparency requirements apply to companies that AI models were trained using more than 100 million in computing resources (apparently, more than any AI model today) and are being provided for residents of New York.

Although in some ways similar to SB 1047, the Rise Act was designed to solve the criticisms of the previous AI protection bills, the Vice President and General Counsel of Encode, who have worked on this bill and SB 1047, significantly, it does not require a “Kill Switch” to include a “Kill Switch”.

Nevertheless, Silicon Valley told Alex Borus TechCrunch, co-worker of New York AI Protection Bill, New York State Assembber and The Rise Act. The borus has called the industry resistance as amazing, but claims that the raising law will not limit the innovation of technology companies.

Ethnographic, protection-centric AI lab that AI has been called for federal transparent criteria for agencies Earlier this month, no official position was reached in the bill, co-founder Jack Clark said in A Posted on Friday at XThe However, some complaints about how wide the Clark Rise Act is, mentioned that it can present the risk to “smaller companies”.

Asked about ethnographic criticism, State Senator Gonondece told TechCrunch that he had “missed it” that he designed the bill not to apply to smaller companies.

Open, Google and Meta do not respond to TechCrunch request for comments.

Another general criticism of the raising law is that AI model developers will not only provide their most advanced AI model in the state of New York. It came up with similar criticism against SB 1047 and what it played in Europe for the strict rules of the continent on technology.

The Assembly Borus told TechCrunch that the regulatory burden of the raising law is relatively light, and therefore, technology agencies will not be required to stop operating their products in New York. Considering that New York has the third largest GDP in the United States, most of the companies coming out of the state will be lightly acceptable.

“I don’t want to decrease the political miniature that can happen, but I’m very confident that their models in New York have no economic reasons for not available,” said Assembly Borres.
