A 9097: Requires disclosure of use of generative artificial intelligence to clients, criminal defendants, and the court

This bill requires legal professionals and self-represented individuals to disclose when they use generative AI for legal research, document review, or drafting court filings. It directly affects all lawyers, defendants, and pro se litigants who prepare court documents. Key provisions mandate: obtaining client or defendant consent after warning about AI risks, attaching a written statement disclosing AI use, and certifying that a human verified all content (including case citations). The bill applies to both civil and criminal cases, with separate affidavits required for AI-assisted or AI-free filings. It does not restrict AI use but mandates transparency and human oversight in legal work.

A 9185: Relates to falsely reporting an incident through the use of artificial intelligence

This New York bill (A 9185) amends criminal law to explicitly include AI-generated communications in the definition of "falsely reporting an incident in the third degree." It directly affects individuals who knowingly use artificial intelligence (including generative AI) to create false reports about crimes, emergencies, or child abuse incidents - such as fabricating emergency alerts or fake abuse reports via AI tools. The law expands existing penalties (class A misdemeanor) to cover these AI-facilitated false reports to authorities or the public, ensuring that AI-generated misinformation about emergencies or safety threats is treated the same as human-created false reports. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.

A 1338: Relates to the admissibility of evidence created or processed by artificial intelligence

This bill establishes new standards for using artificial intelligence-generated evidence in court. It prohibits admitting AI-created or AI-processed evidence in criminal or civil cases unless the evidence is backed by separate, admissible evidence and the specific AI use is proven reliable through expert testimony. The law defines "AI-created" evidence as new information not deducible from existing data, and "AI-processed" evidence as conclusions beyond what existing data reasonably supports. To be admissible, proponents must demonstrate the AI was rigorously tested for accuracy in relevant contexts and avoid variables that could cause errors.

A 9219: Requires artificial intelligence technology used in professional fields to be developed and maintained in consultation with experts in such fields

This bill requires developers of artificial intelligence (AI) used in regulated professional fields - such as healthcare, law, finance, education, and engineering - to consult with licensed experts (e.g., doctors, lawyers, engineers) during AI design, data training, testing, and ongoing risk assessment. Developers must document this expert involvement and submit it to the Attorney General for compliance certification. Non-compliance could result in civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation, injunctions halting AI deployment, or public disclosure of violations. The law targets AI tools directly affecting public decisions or services, not general-purpose AI.
