The sponsor's argument

Why Andrew Gounardes says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter (also known as the RAISE Act). Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than any technology in human history. It is driving groundbreaking scientific advances-leading to life-changing medicines, unlocking new creative potential, and automat- ing mundane tasks. At the same time, experts and practitioners in the field readily acknowledge the potential for serious risks. Ai companies, leading scientists, and international bodies are preparing for a world in which Ai can be used to conduct devastating cyberattacks, aid in the production of bioweapons, and even circumvent controls imposed by devel- opers. The negotiated changes to the underlying chapter aligns New York's RAISE Act more closely with California's SE 53, and maintains requirements for large Ai developers to publish and update their safety plans and report on potential catastrophic incidents to the State.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
