SUPERINTELLIGENCE, MEET THE PAPER JAM

The real news

The story, straight

Registering a company tells the state who operates it and whom to contact. It does not prove its technology is safe.

Think attendance register, not graduation certificate.

New York opened its RAISE registration portal on 10 November. Large frontier AI developers operating in the state must register by 1 January 2027.

These are developers of models trained using enormous amounts of computing, with combined annual revenue above $500 million including affiliates.

Our imaginary filing department has Lil'meme wrestling a printer that has swallowed his forms. Humanity built machines that generate answers, then met a machine that generates reasons to open the paper tray.

The serious requirements begin in January: large developers must publish safety frameworks explaining how they identify and reduce risks.

Frontier developers must also publish model transparency reports and report qualifying critical safety incidents within 72 hours of determining an incident occurred or learning sufficient facts.

Imminent danger of death or serious injury requires disclosure to an appropriate authority within 24 hours.

Governor Kathy Hochul also launched a Binghamton-based research center to independently evaluate advanced AI systems.

The useful distinction: registration identifies the developer; public safety plans give people something concrete to scrutinize. Neither is a magic safety sticker.
