Bill > S08459

This bill amends the New York Civil Rights Law by adding a new section that prohibits transcribing video conference meetings using artificial intelligence (AI) without providing a conspicuous disclosure to all meeting participants that their words may be transcribed by AI during the meeting. The provision requires explicit notification to attendees about the potential for AI-generated transcripts, effectively giving participants advance warning that their spoken words might be captured and converted to text using AI technology. The new law would take effect 30 days after being signed, and it aims to protect privacy by ensuring transparency about potential AI transcription during video conferences. By mandating upfront disclosure, the bill seeks to give participants the opportunity to make informed decisions about their participation in meetings where AI transcription might occur.
