What S 934 does, verified March 10, 2026

The bill aims to require clear and conspicuous notices on user interfaces of generative artificial intelligence systems. These systems include models that generate synthetic content such as images, videos, and text. The notice must inform users that the outputs of the system may be inaccurate. Failure to provide this notice can result in a civil penalty of up to one thousand dollars for each violation. The bill also establishes that each instance of non-compliance constitutes a separate violation. The notice requirement and penalties will take effect on the ninetieth day after the bill becomes a law.

  STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 934 2025-2026 Regular Sessions  IN SENATE (Prefiled) January 8, 2025 ___________ Introduced by Sen. GONZALEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Internet and Technology AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring warn- ings on generative artificial intelligence systems The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section 2 399-zzzzzz to read as follows: 3 § 399-zzzzzz. Warnings on generative artificial intelligence systems. 4 1. As used in this section the following terms shall have the following 5 meanings: 6 (a) "Generative artificial intelligence system" shall mean any artifi- 7 cial intelligence system whose primary function is to generate content, 8 which can take the form of code, text, images, and more. 9 (b) "Artificial intelligence" shall mean a machine-based system that 10 can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, 11 recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. 12 Artificial intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to 13 perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into 14 models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference 15 to formulate options for information or action. This definition includes 16 but is not limited to systems that use machine learning, large language 17 model, natural language processing, and computer vision technologies, 18 including generative AI. 19 2. The owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelli- 20 gence system shall conspicuously display a warning on the system's user 21 interface that is reasonably calculated to consistently apprise the user 22 that the outputs of the generative artificial intelligence system may be 23 inaccurate and/or inappropriate. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD01087-01-5 

 S. 934 2 1 3. Where such owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial 2 intelligence system fails to provide the warning required in subdivision 3 two of this section, such owner, licensee or operator shall be assessed 4 a civil penalty of the lesser of twenty-five dollars per user of such 5 system or one hundred thousand dollars. Each calendar year during which 6 a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. 7 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall 8 have become a law.
