An independent reference implementation of the RAISE Act’s safety and transparency regime for frontier AI developers — the published frameworks, the statutory text, and an eligibility check, all in one place. The regime takes effect January 1, 2027.
FilingsGPT is an independent reference implementation of New York's Article 44-B (the RAISE Act). It is not affiliated with or operated by the NY Department of Financial Services or the State of New York, and is not an official filing system.
Who the Act covers
Article 44-B takes effect January 1, 2027. If you build frontier AI models, the first question is simple — are you a covered developer?
Developers that train a frontier model — a foundation model trained with more than 10²⁶ operations — and that, with affiliates, exceed $500 million in annual revenue (a 'large frontier developer'), where the model reaches New York.
Smaller developers below the revenue bar carry only lighter duties; academic research at New York institutions and the Empire AI consortium are excluded entirely. Thresholds are from the enacted text; DFS rulemaking fills in operational detail.
What the Act requires
Article 44-B asks large frontier developers to write down how they manage catastrophic risk, to publish it, to report when something goes wrong, and to register with an oversight office inside NY DFS. The text below tracks the enacted statute (S.8828).
Read all of Article 44-BA large frontier developer must write, implement, comply with, and conspicuously publish a frontier AI framework describing how it manages, assesses, and mitigates catastrophic risk — reviewed at least annually, with material changes published within thirty days.
Before deploying a new or substantially modified frontier model, a frontier developer publishes a transparency report — release date, intended use, and catastrophic-risk assessment summaries. A system card or model card satisfies this.
A critical safety incident is reported to the DFS Office within 72 hours — and within 24 hours to law enforcement if it poses an imminent risk of death or serious injury. Large frontier developers also report internal-use risk assessments every three months.
The bar the regime is built around: a foreseeable, material risk that a frontier model materially contributes to more than fifty deaths or serious injuries, or more than $1 billion in property damage, from a single incident.
A large frontier developer files a disclosure statement with the DFS Office — identity, New York addresses, 5%+ owners — renewed every two years. The Office maintains and publishes the list of developers who have filed.
The New York Attorney General enforces the article with civil penalties up to $1 million for a first violation and up to $3 million for subsequent violations. There is no private right of action.

For the record
The RAISE Act is the New York law that adds Article 44-B to the General Business Law (§§ 1420–1429). It creates a safety and transparency regime for developers of frontier AI models — the duty to write, publish, and stand behind a frontier AI framework, to publish a transparency report before deploying, to report critical safety incidents, and to submit to oversight. It takes effect January 1, 2027.
The heaviest duties fall on a 'large frontier developer' — a developer that trains a frontier model (a foundation model trained with more than 10²⁶ integer or floating-point operations) and that, with its affiliates, had annual gross revenue over $500 million in the preceding year. The well-resourced labs training the most capable models. Smaller developers and academic work generally fall outside the heaviest duties. The thresholds are set by the enacted text and DFS rulemaking fills in operational detail, so verify before relying on it.
A written, implemented, and published frontier AI framework describing how the developer manages, assesses, and mitigates catastrophic risk, plus a transparency report before deploying a new or substantially modified frontier model (a system or model card satisfies it). A large frontier developer also files a disclosure statement with the DFS Office, renewed every two years. Where a published document is redacted to protect trade secrets, cybersecurity, public safety, or national security, the unredacted version is retained for five years. Critical safety incidents are reported to the DFS Office within 72 hours — and within 24 hours to law enforcement where the risk of death or serious injury is imminent.
January 1, 2027 (set in § 3 of the act). The final version was enacted by the S.8828 chapter amendment, signed March 27, 2026, and DFS rulemaking will finalize the filing format — so treat operational specifics as provisional until you check them against the enacted text.
No. FilingsGPT is an independent reference implementation of the Article 44-B regime — it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the NY Department of Financial Services or the State of New York. There is no official state filing portal yet; this models what one should be.
There is no private right of action. The New York Attorney General enforces the Act through civil penalties — up to $1 million for a first violation and up to $3 million for a subsequent one (§ 1427). Separately, the DFS Office may levy $1,000 per day for a missing disclosure statement (§ 1428). The Office monitors compliance and publishes the list of large frontier developers who have filed.
