NY cracks down on safe AI

🚨 Our Report 

New York lawmakers have passed a groundbreaking bill (RAISE) that aims to prevent AI models from causing or contributing to major disasters that could result in mass human casualties or billions of $$$ in damages.

🔓 Key Points

• RAISE targets major AI firms (not just US-based ones) and requires them to implement safety and transparency protocols to prevent their AI systems from causing death or injury to over 100 people or over $1B in damages.

• These major AI companies will be mandated to publish detailed safety and security reports about their AI models and report all safety incidents, like concerning model behaviour or AI model theft by bad actors.

• If these AI or tech companies fail to comply with these standards, the legislation enables New York’s attorney general to impose civil penalties of up to $30M against them.

🔐 Relevance 

If this bill is signed into law, it will be the first set of legally enforceable safety and transparency standards for AI labs in the US. However, the bill does contain some of the provisions and goals that the previously vetoed Californian AI safety bill SB 1047 had, leaving some expecting a similar outcome. Many in the industry, including a16z’s Andreessen Horowitz, have blasted it as "another stupid, stupid state-level AI bill that will hurt the US at a time when our adversaries are racing ahead," whereas others, including safety advocate Geoffrey Hinton, see it as a major step forward.

How this company resolved 70% of customer inquiries with AI

• Amarra, a clothing manufacturer, couldn’t scale due to inefficient content creation, overstocking, and high customer support workloads

• ChatGPT automated the creation of product descriptions, and an AI inventory management system predicted demand, reducing excess stock.

• They also utilized chatbots to handle customer inquiries, automating responses to frequently asked questions.

• As a result, overstocking was reduced by 40%, product description writing was cut by 60%, and 70% of customer inquiries were resolved by chatbots.

• Google Search is trialling Audio Overviews, which gives users an audio version of their search results, “offering a hands-free way to absorb information” to help with multitasking and accessibility.

• If Google thinks an audio recording of a search query will be useful, like “How do noise cancellation headphones work?”, it will create an AI podcast-style discussion, giving users links to find out more.

• This builds on the AI Overviews feature that presents AI-generated summaries of search results and comes after recent reports highlighted that its diminishing visits to websites, specifically news publications.

• Last week, reports emerged that Meta was investing $14.3B into Scale—a data labeliing service—for a 49% stake in the company with co-founder Alexandr Wang joining Meta to develop “superintelligence.”

• Following this, Google, which had planned to pay Scale $200M this year, has reportedly cut ties with the company, as has Microsoft, following in the footsteps of OpenAI, which made a similar decision a few months ago.

• This is undoubtedly because these AI companies now fear that Scale will inadvertently share confidential research and strategic information with Meta, which will now be a key stakeholder in the company.
