According to an analysis by Lawfare, New York could distribute frontier AI safety reports to other states through a platform already used for financial regulatory data. The system, which is designed for secure and confidential information sharing, would allow states to collaborate on AI oversight without needing to pass new federal or state legislation.
The proposal leverages the fact that the platform already meets strict security and confidentiality requirements, making it a natural fit for sensitive technical reports. Rather than building a new infrastructure, the author argues, states could adopt this existing channel to exchange findings on advanced AI systems.
The significance is practical: it lowers the barrier to interstate coordination on AI safety, potentially enabling faster sharing of risk assessments and test results. The article presents this as a workable option, though it does not address potential drawbacks such as differing state disclosure rules or federal preemption concerns.
