NY RAISE Act carries no direct penalty today, so its value is evidential: teams adopt it to show a named standard behind their controls for safety & robustness, security and governance & accountability. Mapping an existing AI inventory against it is usually enough to surface the gaps, and that same evidence tends to carry over to the binding regimes that follow.
