So the RAISE Act asks for companies to do four things. They have to have an SSP. They have to have that SSP audited by a third party, not the government. They actually have to choose their own third party that does that. They have to disclose critical safety incidents, and we define that very specifically in the bill as to what would be something that would have to be disclosed. And they have to not terminate employees or contractors that raise critical risk. It applies only to large companies, so those that have spent $100 million or more in training frontier models. It exempts academia entirely. Obviously, that $100 million threshold, I think, exempts what any startup is currently building in terms of—again, that is just on compute and just on training. And it focuses on making sure that the companies are setting a baseline standard ahead of time through their SSP and not changing it after the fact. AI Verified source (2025)
