Governor Hochul Announces Next Steps to Regulate Major AI Developers

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced further steps to regulate major AI developers and protect New Yorkers, building on previous state actions. New York's approach includes a moratorium on new hyperscale data centers and the empowerment of DIGIT to demand more data from AI companies and issue new rules. This initiative aims to establish a strong regulatory framework at the state level, in contrast to federal inaction.
