Bill > A03361

This bill creates a temporary state commission called the New York State Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation Commission to comprehensively study and investigate potential regulatory approaches for emerging technologies. The 14-member commission will be appointed by various state officials, including the governor, legislative leaders, attorney general, and university chancellors, and will explore critical issues such as current AI laws, comparative state policies, criminal and civil liability, employment impacts, confidentiality concerns, potential weaponry restrictions, technology industry implications, and public sector applications of AI. Commission members will serve without compensation but will be reimbursed for necessary expenses, and they are tasked with conducting hearings and gathering testimony to provide a thorough analysis of AI-related challenges. The commission must issue a final report to key state leaders no later than thirty days before the act's expiration, which is set for December 31, 2026. This temporary commission aims to develop informed recommendations for potentially regulating artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation technologies in New York State.
