New York Governor Kathy Hochul Signs RAISE Act to Regulate AI Safety

On December 20, 2025, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the RAISE Act, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at enhancing AI safety regulation. The new law mandates that large AI developers disclose their safety protocols and report any incidents involving AI systems within 72 hours. This regulation reflects growing concerns about the risks AI poses and the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and rapid response mechanisms.

For organizations deploying AI at scale, especially in regulated industries, this legislation introduces clear compliance requirements and underscores the importance of robust AI governance. Ensuring that AI systems operate safely and responsibly is no longer optional; it is a legal necessity.

Axonyx addresses the critical risks highlighted by the RAISE Act by offering a comprehensive AI governance, control, and observability platform. Axonyx enables enterprises to meet these new regulatory standards by providing:

• Control: Axonyx enforces governance policies that define what AI systems are permitted to do, preventing unsafe or non-compliant behaviours before they impact operations.
• Observability: With real-time dashboards, anomaly detection, and hallucination monitoring, Axonyx offers immediate insight into AI system performance and risk, enabling rapid incident detection and response.
• Governance: Axonyx maintains detailed audit trails and compliance documentation, supporting organizations in fulfilling disclosure and reporting requirements mandated by regulations like the RAISE Act.

By integrating Axonyx into their AI lifecycle, enterprises gain the confidence to deploy AI safely and transparently, reducing the risk of regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Axonyx turns evolving AI regulatory challenges into manageable operational practices, helping organizations transform AI from an uncontrolled risk into a trusted, auditable asset.
