Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to liability for false information provided by a chatbot

AI Summary

This bill aims to impose liability on the proprietors of chatbots (artificial intelligence systems used to interact with users) if the chatbot provides materially misleading, incorrect, contradictory, or harmful information that results in financial loss or other demonstrable harm to the user. The bill requires proprietors to ensure their chatbots accurately provide information aligned with their formal policies and terms of service, and prohibits them from disclaiming this liability merely by notifying users they are interacting with a non-human chatbot. Additionally, the bill mandates that proprietors utilizing chatbots must provide clear, conspicuous, and explicit notice to users that they are interacting with an artificial intelligence chatbot rather than a human representative.
