According to a policy announcement disclosed in advance by the media, New York Governor Kathy Hochu is about to launch a first-of-its-kind program in the US: the state government will independently test artificial intelligence systems and train a new generation of AI security professionals. Democratic Governor Hochul told “The Politician” before the official announcement was made on Tuesday: “If the federal government does not act, New York will take the lead in promoting AI security supervision and restraining large technology companies. The risk is too high, and we can't just take AI companies' side of the word.” Funding for the testing center includes $30 million from Bloomberg co-founder Tom Secunda and $25 million in research funding from the State University of New York and the New York State Government. The center will be in operation before the RAISE Act, New York's core AI security bill, comes into effect on January 1. The bill requires AI companies operating in New York to submit detailed security plans, and the Huochu administration hopes that researchers at the new center can review these plans. The new program launched by Huo Chu will fund relevant research to implement accountability for AI companies. However, researchers can only obtain information disclosed by AI companies to the outside world in accordance with the law; internal models that are still being developed by companies are still classified information.
