A group of over 150 parents has called on New York Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act, a bill that would impact developers of large AI models like Meta, OpenAI, Deepseek, and Google. The bill, which requires safety plans and transparency in reporting incidents, has faced opposition from tech companies including Meta, IBM, and Uber, who claim it is ‘unworkable.’ The AI Alliance and Leading the Future have expressed concerns and actively lobbied against the legislation.
ParentsTogether Action and the Tech Oversight Project spearheaded the letter to Governor Hochul, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations due to reported harms of AI chatbots and social media platforms, with some signatories having lost children to such technologies. They view the current version of the RAISE Act as providing only ‘minimalist guardrails’ and are advocating for its immediate implementation.
