MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from Article 44-B to 44-C and reclassified as S6955-A, indicating it has been amended and recommitted to committee. The most significant substantive change is the extension of the compliance deadline for posting AI training data documentation from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027. Additionally, the requirements for disclosure were expanded to include new details about data cleaning, collection timeframes, and the use of synthetic data, while also adding specific exemptions for aircraft operations and national security models.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to require more detailed transparency regarding data sources, including personal information and synthetic data usage, and it now explicitly exempts certain high-stakes sectors like aviation and national defense from these reporting requirements.

TIMELINE

The deadline for developers to post training data documentation was delayed from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.

REQUIREMENT

New disclosure requirements were added to mandate reporting on data cleaning processes, the specific time periods when data was collected, and whether synthetic data was used in model development.

ELIGIBILITY

Exemptions were created for generative AI models used solely for aircraft operation in national airspace and those developed for national security or military purposes available only to federal entities.
