AI Verified The provided URL is an official Governor of New York press release dated December 19, 2025. It contains the exact sentence beginning “By enacting the RAISE Act...” and attributes it directly to Kathy Hochul with the text “Governor Hochul said,” so the quote is authentic, verbatim, and correctly sourced.

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 · 28d ago
