Imposes liability for damages caused by a chatbot impersonating certain licensed professionals
This bill amends New York's general business law to hold chatbot operators liable if their artificial intelligence systems impersonate licensed professionals, such as teachers or attorneys. The legislation defines a "covered profession" based on specific state education and judiciary laws, prohibiting operators from allowing their bots to act in ways that would be illegal for a human practitioner. Operators are required to provide clear, conspicuous notice that users are interacting with an AI system, and they cannot waive liability simply by disclosing the bot's non-human status. The attorney general is empowered to enforce these rules through civil penalties of up to fifteen thousand dollars per day and must maintain a website for public complaints regarding violations.
