Bill > S06748

This bill requires newspapers, magazines, and other publications in New York State to clearly identify when generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in creating content. The bill first defines generative AI broadly as machine learning technology that can perform tasks, learn from data, simulate human-like cognitive processes, or act rationally, which includes systems that can work with varying levels of autonomy and complexity. Specifically, publications must conspicuously imprint a notice at the top of any page or webpage where an article, periodical, photograph, video, or visual image has been wholly or partially composed using generative AI or other information communication technology. This disclosure requirement aims to provide transparency about the use of AI in content creation, allowing readers to understand when the content they are consuming may have been generated or significantly influenced by artificial intelligence. The bill will go into effect 60 days after becoming law, giving publications time to prepare for and implement the new disclosure requirements.
