Verification History

AI Unverifiable Quote attributed to Gov. Kathy Hochul (2025): "By enacting the RAISE Act, New York is once again leading the nation in setting a strong and sensible standard for frontier AI safety, holding the biggest developers accountable for their safety and transparency protocols." The source_url (governor.ny.gov) returns HTTP 403, so I could not fetch it directly. Web search strongly corroborates: the quote appears verbatim in the governor.ny.gov press release and an official mirror at dfs.ny.gov, plus secondary coverage (IAPP, CIO Dive, CDO Magazine). Hochul signed the RAISE Act (S6953B/A6453B) on Dec 19, 2025 — year 2025 is correct. Vote direction "for" on statement 435 ("Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority") is correct in principle: the RAISE Act explicitly requires large developers to report safety incidents within 72 hours. NOTE one scope nuance — the RAISE Act mandates reporting to the State (NY oversight office within DFS / Attorney General), not to a national authority as the statement's wording implies; the quote itself is a general endorsement of the RAISE Act rather than specifically about the 72-hour/national mechanism. Attribution and year are solid and the vote is correctly aligned. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source_url blocks automated access. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
