Lunch & Learn: AI Governance & the NY RAISE Act

Join us for a practical focused on the New York Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday business operations, from Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT to AI-powered cybersecurity, marketing, and productivity tools. As policymakers continue to develop AI-related regulations, many organizations are asking: What does this mean for businesses that use AI but do not build it? Join us for a practical Lunch & Learn focused on the New York Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act and the broader implications for organizations that rely on frontier AI models. Using the legislation as a starting point, we'll explore evolving expectations around AI governance, vendor management, cybersecurity, risk assessment, procurement, and organizational policy. This is not a legal briefing and does not constitute legal advice. Instead, the session is designed to help business leaders, IT professionals, security practitioners, compliance teams, and decision-makers understand the practical operational and policy considerations that may emerge as AI regulation continues to evolve. Topics will include: • How AI regulation may affect organizations that consume AI services • AI vendor due diligence and procurement considerations • Governance and oversight best practices • Cybersecurity and risk management implications • Building an AI usage framework that supports innovation while managing risk The session will be highly interactive, with significant time reserved for discussion, questions, and real-world scenarios. Attendees are encouraged to bring examples of AI tools currently being used within their organizations and share their perspectives on emerging opportunities and challenges. Whether your organization is actively implementing AI or simply planning for the future, this discussion will provide practical insights to help guide internal policy, governance, and risk-management conversations.
