The Brief · written from 2 sources
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul launched what is described as the first state-level effort in the US to independently test AI systems.
- The effort includes a new center meant to train a new generation of AI safety experts.
- The state research center is intended to check AI companies' work rather than rely on their own claims.
Why it matters
If the state's independent testing becomes a standard check, developers building or deploying AI systems sold or used in New York may face outside evaluation of their safety claims.
Who’s affected
- AI companies whose systems may be tested by the New York state center
- Developers building AI products for New York users
