N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law art. 44-B (§§ 1420-1429), ch. 699 of 2025, as amended by ch. 96 of 2026 · Read the law's page

• From January 1, 2027, if you are a large frontier developer (a frontier developer whose annual gross revenues, together with its affiliates, exceeded $500 million in the preceding calendar year), write, implement, comply with and conspicuously publish on your website a frontier AI framework describing how you set capability thresholds for catastrophic risk, apply and review mitigations before deploying a frontier model or using it extensively internally, use third-party assessors, secure unreleased model weights, respond to critical safety incidents, govern these processes internally, and manage catastrophic risk from internal use.
• If you are a large frontier developer, review your frontier AI framework at least once a year, and publish any materially modified framework with a justification for the change within thirty days.
• Before or at the same time as you deploy a new or substantially modified frontier model, publish on your website a transparency report giving your website, a way for a person to contact you, the model's release date, its supported languages and output modalities, its intended uses, and any general restrictions or conditions on its use; publishing this in a model card or system card satisfies the duty.
• If you are a large frontier developer, include in that transparency report summaries of your catastrophic-risk assessments of the model, their results, the extent to which third-party evaluators were involved, and the other steps you took under your frontier AI framework.
• Report any critical safety incident involving your frontier models to the Department of Financial Services office within 72 hours of determining that it occurred or of learning facts sufficient for a reasonable belief that it did, and, within 24 hours of discovering that an incident poses an imminent risk of death or serious physical injury, disclose it to an authority, including any law enforcement agency or public safety agency with jurisdiction, that is appropriate based on the nature of the incident and as required by law.
• If you are a large frontier developer, send the office a summary of any assessment of catastrophic risk from internal use of your frontier models every three months, or on another reasonable schedule the office agrees to.
• Do not make a materially false or misleading statement about catastrophic risk from your frontier models or how you manage it, and, as a large frontier developer, about your implementation of or compliance with your frontier AI framework; a statement made in good faith and reasonable in the circumstances is excepted.
• If you redact a document you publish under this article to protect trade secrets, cybersecurity, public safety or national security, or to comply with law, describe the character and justification of each redaction in the published version, to the extent those concerns permit, and keep the unredacted information for five years.
• If you are a large frontier developer, file a disclosure statement with the office before you develop, deploy or operate a frontier model in whole or in part in New York, renew it every two years, or sooner whenever the model's ownership transfers or the reported information materially changes, and pay the pro rata assessment the Department of Financial Services sets to cover the article's costs.
• These duties do not reach an accredited New York college or university engaging in academic research on AI models, or the Empire AI consortium or institute.
