The bill prohibits the publication of any digital or physical newspaper, magazine, or periodical that is wholly or partially produced or edited through artificial intelligence without significant human oversight. This requirement aims to ensure that human editorial judgment is maintained in the publishing process, thereby safeguarding content quality and integrity. Publishers who utilize AI technologies for content generation or editing must comply with this regulation, which will take effect sixty days after it becomes law. The bill defines 'artificial intelligence' broadly, encompassing various technologies and systems that perform tasks typically requiring human-like perception and cognition, which could impact a wide range of publishing practices. The bill was introduced by Sen. Skoufis and is to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection.
