Governor of New York
Here in New York, we've stepped up, setting a national standard for transparency and accountability for frontier AI models. But states cannot solve this problem alone. The federal government must establish strong national standards that put public safety ahead of the race to develop ever more powerful technology.

Statement relation comments

AI Unverifiable The quote confirms that states are setting AI standards and calls for federal standards, but it does not establish whether Hochul supports states retaining a right to adopt standards stricter than the federal baseline. The link is relevant to the topic but the complete-statement stance is not determinable from the available passage. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 19d ago
