New York’s RAISE Act raises AI transparency expectations, shaping how education tools explain data use, errors, and accountability.
FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — New York announced the signing of the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act, describing transparency and incident-reporting expectations for certain large AI developers. You can read about it here.
While the law targets frontier AI developers, the downstream effect for education is practical: vendors and school systems increasingly face questions about safety testing, transparency, and accountable reporting.
As AI features become embedded in education products – tutoring, writing assistance, behavioral analytics – families and schools need clearer explanations of model behavior, data flows, and error-handling.
Even when a law applies to developers rather than schools directly, it can shape procurement expectations, contract clauses, and vendor disclosure norms.
Parents and schools should treat AI-enabled tools like any other high-impact system: request transparency, define acceptable use, and insist on clear escalation paths when outcomes appear wrong or harmful.
“Transparency is not a technical luxury; it’s a practical safety tool. When AI is used in education, families need understandable answers about what the tool does, what data it uses, and what happens when it makes a mistake,” says Dan Rothfeld, COO of The Advocacy Circle.
What can students, families, and schools do now?
• Ask whether an education tool uses AI features and what data inputs it relies on.
• Request vendor documentation on safety testing and incident response.
• Define in writing how AI outputs may be used (and not used) in student evaluation or discipline.
• Ensure contracts include breach notification and support response timelines.
• Keep records of concerning outputs or decisions tied to automated tools.
