This bill (S 9236) amends New York's Penal Law to explicitly include communications generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in the definition of "falsely reporting an incident in the third degree." It directly affects individuals who use AI tools to create and circulate false reports about crimes, emergencies, or child abuse incidents to authorities or the public. The key provision adds "using artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence" to all scenarios where false reporting is prohibited, such as reporting non-existent emergencies or falsely accusing someone of a crime. Violating this law remains a class A misdemeanor, applying equally to AI-generated and human-created false reports.

This bill requires all vehicles operated for hire (like taxis, ride-share services, or limousines) to have a human driver physically present, seated behind the steering wheel, and actively driving. It specifically prohibits the use of automated driving systems in such vehicles without a human driver engaged in the task of driving. The law amends vehicle and traffic law to mandate this requirement for all hired vehicles operating on public highways. This directly affects transportation companies and drivers providing for-hire services in New York State.
