This bill establishes rules for companies using AI tools to make key hiring, promotion, or termination decisions. It directly affects "deployers" (employers using these tools) and "developers" (companies creating them), requiring both to conduct annual impact assessments. Key provisions mandate documenting data usage, assessing discrimination risks, implementing safeguards, and maintaining transparency about how the tools function. Deployers must verify tools align with their intended purpose, while developers must disclose limitations and evaluation methods before selling tools. The law aims to prevent biased outcomes by requiring proactive risk management for AI-driven employment decisions.
Prohibits the provision of an artificial intelligence companion to a user unless such artificial intelligence companion contains a protocol for addressing possible suicidal ideation or self-harm expressed by a user, possible physical harm to others expressed by a user, and possible financial harm to others expressed by a user; requires certain notifications to certain users regarding crisis service providers and the non-human nature of such companion models.
S 2487 establishes the New York Artificial Intelligence Ethics Commission to oversee ethical AI use within the state. The commission, composed of nine members appointed by state leaders, sets guidelines for AI development and deployment, reviews projects for compliance, handles complaints, and certifies ethical AI systems. It directly affects New York state agencies and private companies operating in the state that use AI, prohibiting discriminatory practices, unauthorized surveillance, privacy violations, and deceptive AI use. The commission can impose fines or injunctions for violations and must submit annual reports to the governor and legislature. This bill creates concrete oversight mechanisms to ensure AI systems comply with ethical standards before deployment.
This New York bill (A 9091) requires search engines to clearly disclose when information displayed to users was generated by artificial intelligence. Specifically, search engines must place a plain-language notice directly above AI-generated content and as a watermark across it, using the same font size as the content itself. The law applies to all search engines operating in New York, directly affecting how users interact with search results. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $5,000 per incident, and the bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
Creates a temporary state commission to study and investigate how to regulate artificial intelligence, robotics and automation; repeals such commission.
Requires the collection of oaths of responsible use from users of certain generative or surveillance advanced artificial intelligence systems by the operators of such systems, and transmission of such oaths to the attorney general.
Regulates the development and use of certain artificial intelligence systems to prevent algorithmic discrimination; requires independent audits of high risk AI systems; provides for enforcement by the attorney general.
This bill, the "Responsible AI Safety and Education Act" (RAISE Act), regulates large artificial intelligence (AI) developers who train or use "frontier models" - defined as models requiring over $100 million in computing costs or 10^26 computational operations. It directly affects commercial AI companies (excluding academic researchers) by requiring them to implement safety protocols, conduct risk testing, and report incidents like unauthorized model access or misuse. Key provisions mandate documented safety measures to prevent "critical harm" (defined as serious injury to 100+ people or $1 billion+ in property damage), with remedies for violations. The law also creates specific definitions for terms like "frontier model," "safety incident," and "knowledge distillation" (modified AI models), ensuring clarity for compliance.
Establishes the artificial intelligence training data transparency act requiring developers of generative artificial intelligence models or services to post on the developer's website information regarding the data used by the developer to train the generative artificial intelligence model or service, including a high-level summary of the datasets used in the development of such system or service.
Requires state units to purchase a product or service that is or contains an algorithmic decision system that adheres to responsible artificial intelligence standards; specifies content included in responsible artificial intelligence standards; requires the commissioner of taxation and finance to adopt certain regulations; alters the definition of unlawful discriminatory practice to include acts performed through algorithmic decision systems.
