Meet the Politician the AI Industry Is Trying to Stop

What It Covers

New York Assembly member Alex Boris faces $10 million opposition from AI industry super PAC for proposing RAISE Act requiring safety standards for advanced AI models.

Key Questions Answered

• •AI Safety Regulation: RAISE Act applies only to companies spending $100+ million on compute for frontier models, requiring public safety plans and $10-30 million fines for violations.
• •Deepfake Solutions: C2PA metadata standard cryptographically proves content authenticity like HTTPS for banking - creators must attach it, making unverified content automatically suspect to users.
• •Government Performance Tracking: Politicians should measure bill effectiveness with data - telemarketing fines increased 4x after raising statutory maximums, while moped registration actually decreased from 1,700 to 1,400.
• •Tech Industry Targeting: AI companies spend millions opposing knowledgeable regulators rather than uninformed critics, suggesting they fear technically competent oversight more than populist opposition.
