Bill > A01342

This bill requires operators of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can generate synthetic media or conduct surveillance to collect a legally binding oath from each user before they can create an account. The oath requires users to affirm that they will not use the AI platform to create or spread content that: causes injury, promotes illegal activities, disseminates defamatory or harmful material, or intentionally spreads false information about individuals, groups, or events of public interest. Operators must submit a copy of each user's oath to the New York State Attorney General within 30 days, with potential fines of $3,000 or three times the profit derived from the user if they fail to do so. The bill defines "advanced AI systems" as digital applications that can autonomously perform tasks traditionally requiring human intelligence, with specific criteria for generative and surveillance systems. The Attorney General will be responsible for creating rules and regulations to implement this law, and the bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law. The oath is designed to be sworn under penalty of perjury, with false statements potentially constituting a class A misdemeanor.
