New York RAISE Act - Footnote 27
1 evidence check
Last checked: 4/3/2026
The claim states that the final version of the RAISE Act removed the original deployment ban, but the source says the current text of the bill prohibits deployment of models posing an 'unreasonable risk of critical harm.' The claim states that the law bans the use of knowledge distillation techniques to create smaller models that mimic the dangerous capabilities of larger frontier models, but the source only mentions that the RAISE Act applies to frontier models with compute costs that exceed $100 million (and $5 million for specific 'distilled' models).
