"The RAISE Act is the bill I am most proud of this year. The bill requires the largest AI companies to have safety plans as they engage in risky research. The companies themselves have said that in the wrong hands, their systems could help produce bioweapons, and have called for regulation. However, the federal government is not acting, nor showing any progress toward taking real action."
"We have a no-wrong-door policy in our office - even if we are not the right people to solve your problem, we will connect you with the people who are. We are also out in the community as much as possible. In recent months, we sponsored shred trucks, free mammograms, free legal consultations, and other services."
"That's why we're working to remove an obsolete constitutional cap on the number of trial judges to relieve our overcrowded courts, passing laws to track e-bike accidents, register mopeds, and keep our streets safe, and installing barriers on subway platforms. I'm proud to say that, since taking office, felonies, assaults, and thefts are all down year over year, every quarter."
Assembly Member Alex Bores represents Manhattan's 73rd Assembly District, covering Murray Hill, Turtle Bay, Sutton Place, Midtown East, and the Upper East Side. The RAISE Act requires the largest AI companies to implement safety plans for risky research amid warnings that AI could enable bioweapons and in light of federal inaction. The district office follows a no-wrong-door policy to connect constituents with appropriate agencies and provides community services such as shred trucks, free mammograms, and legal consultations. Public safety initiatives include removing a cap on trial judges, tracking e-bike accidents, registering mopeds, installing subway barriers, and reducing crime. Goals include getting the RAISE Act signed and standardizing the commercial code.
