Before 14 November 2026, will a New York state or US federal court issue declaratory and/or injunctive relief preventing New York from enforcing any part of its Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act)?

In December 2025, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the RAISE Act, which she said will hold "the biggest [AI] developers accountable for their safety and transparency protocols" (Governor of New York, Axios). On 11 December 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to, among other things, form an "AI Litigation Task Force...whose sole responsibility shall be to challenge State AI laws" in a push to create a "national policy framework for AI" (White House - Executive Order #14365, AP). A preliminary or permanent injunction (including a temporary restraining order) preventing enforcement will count, as will a declaratory judgment that any provision of the RAISE Act is illegal, unconstitutional, or preempted by federal law (Cornell - Declaratory Judgment, Cornell - Injunctive Relief). A settlement between parties that would prevent the enforcement of the ban will count, and the relief must take effect to count.
