New Mexico Department of Justice on AI

New Mexico Department of Justice

State justice department led by New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, responsible for protecting New Mexicans and enforcing state law.

This is the centerpiece of today’s announcement as the bill requires the largest AI developers to assess and disclose the catastrophic risks their models pose, backed by independent, state-authorized audits designed to catch a model that behaves differently under evaluation than in the real world. [...] Dangerous incidents must be reported fast (24 hours for loss-of-control events, 72 hours for others), and a developer must prove it can actually shut a system down before running it autonomously again.
