Procurement workflow surface
A procurement officer evaluating a vendor against New York RAISE Act: Responsible AI Safety and Education Act can use this page to walk the operative articles + paragraphs the instrument touches, anchored to the primary source. Each row groups every coverage cell that names that article so the reader sees WHICH governance topic each clause speaks to. Use it as a checklist scaffold, not as legal advice (see charter §7.4).
N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 1420(6) defines 'frontier model' (>10^26 FLOP, >$100M compute) + § 1421 imposes operative pre-deployment duties on large frontier-model developers
Verbatim text:
“'Frontier model' means an AI model trained using greater than 10^26 computational operations, the compute cost of which exceeds one hundred million dollars (or a model knowledge-distilled from such a model).”
N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 1421(1)(C) — a large developer must conspicuously publish (with appropriate redactions) its written safety and security protocol and transmit a copy to the attorney general
Verbatim text:
“[A large developer shall] conspicuously publish a copy of its safety and security protocol with appropriate redactions and transmit a copy of such redacted protocol to the attorney general.”
Catastrophic & Existential Risk
N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 1421(1) requires a large developer to implement and conspicuously publish a written safety and security protocol governing the risk of 'critical harm' from its frontier models, and § 1421(4) requires disclosure of safety incidents within 72 hours; § 1420(7) defines critical harm (100+ deaths/serious injuries or $1B damage via CBRN weapons or autonomous model conduct). NOTE: the floor-text § 1421(2) deployment PROHIBITION was struck by the chapter amendment enacted Mar. 27, 2026 (S8828/A9449), which reoriented the Act to a transparency-and-reporting regime; this cell tracks the RETAINED safety-protocol + incident-reporting duties, not a deployment ban.
Verbatim text:
“A large developer shall implement a written safety and security protocol [addressing the risk of critical harm] and conspicuously publish it with appropriate redactions, transmitting a copy to the attorney general.”
N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 1420(6),(9) — the frontier-model / large-developer compute figures SCOPE the regulated class; no standalone compute-figure reporting duty to a regulator. (The Mar. 27, 2026 chapter amendment revised the large-developer threshold to align more closely with California's criteria; the verdict — coverage-scoping, not a reporting duty — is unchanged by the specific figure.)
Editor rationale: Compute thresholds define coverage, not a reporting regime — implicit, mirroring the CA-SB-53 treatment.

N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 1420(7) critical harm includes model conduct 'with no meaningful human intervention'; § 1420(13) 'safety incident' includes autonomous model behaviour + control failures — autonomy reached via the catastrophic-risk/incident lens, not a dedicated agentic regime
