Date: July 9th, 2025, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. EST

Location: Fabrik NYC (12-16 Vestry St 4th Floor, New York, NY 10013)

Heard about AI and curious about what AI regulation and governance might look like? Want to see a real-life example of it? Then this is the workshop for you!

We’ll be talking about AI safety legislation and specifically focusing on the RAISE Act, which just passed the New York State Legislature and is now awaiting signature by Governor Hochul.

This workshop is meant for people of all backgrounds and levels of familiarity both with AI and the legislative process. Please come join us even if you know little about AI or the legislative process!

We’ll cover the details of what the RAISE Act aims to do, and read some of the arguments marshalled by both those for and against the bill. We’ll also split into breakup groups to give you an opportunity to share your opinions about the bill.
