Requires the owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system to conspicuously display a notice on the system's user interface that is reasonably calculated to consistently apprise the user that the outputs of the generative artificial intelligence system may be inaccurate.
In one paragraph
New York's A 3411-B would add General Business Law § 399-zzzzzz requiring the owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system to clearly and conspicuously display a notice on the system's user interface that its outputs may be inaccurate. Failure carries a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation, with each user not given the notice a separate violation. Would take effect on the ninetieth day after it becomes law. Passed the Assembly January 28, 2026 and the Senate March 9, 2026 (58-2, substituted for S934A); no delivery to or action by the Governor appears in the record.
