The Responsible Innovation and Safe Expertise Act of 2025, or RISE Act of 2025, aims to provide conditional immunity from civil liability for artificial intelligence developers. This immunity applies to errors generated by an AI product when a **learned professional** uses it to provide services to a client. To qualify, developers must publicly release and continuously maintain a **model card** and **model specification** for their AI product, along with clear documentation describing its known limitations, failure modes, and appropriate uses for learned professionals. The scope of this immunity is limited, as it does not cover acts or omissions by the developer that constitute **recklessness or willful misconduct**. Furthermore, developers have a **duty to update** their model cards, specifications, and documentation within 30 days of deploying a new version or discovering a material failure mode, or they lose immunity for subsequent harms. The Act also **expressly preempts** State law claims against immune developers for errors, but explicitly states it does not preempt claims based on **fraud, knowing misrepresentation**, or conduct outside the scope of professional use. This legislation is set to take effect on December 1, 2025.
