If you're not familiar with my RAISE Act, let me break it down for you. In simple terms, this act requires AI developers to develop a safety plan to protect against automated crime, bioweapons, and other widespread harm and risks to public safety.
Because let's face it: AI is growing at a rapid rate. And as exciting as that is, it also presents increased risks if it's not properly regulated. Whether it's AI-enabled hacking or biological attacks, we need a mechanism to hold Big Tech accountable in case something goes wrong.
So, the RAISE Act responds to these threats with safeguards like requiring the largest AI companies to write and follow security protocols and risk evaluations.
This act keeps AI companies honest and incentivizes them not to cut corners and risk public safety. It's not a heavy burden. It's just light-touch requirements on only the largest developers, enabling innovation to still thrive.
That's why it passed with bipartisan support and is supported by 84% of New Yorkers — it's just common sense.
But common sense isn't as common as we thought, because Big Tech is spending Big Money lobbying Gov. Hochul against signing my bill into law.
Friend, it's simple. New Yorkers want tech to make their lives better, not put their health and safety at risk. My RAISE Act ensures beneficial uses of AI can flourish while protecting our communities from the risks.
It's common-sense policies like these that I spend every day pursuing in Albany, and I'm asking for your help to keep working for you. Can you chip in today to help us unlock matching funds and power our reelection campaign?
