New York's S 9542 (2023-2024) would have added General Business Law § 338 barring a digital or physical newspaper, magazine or periodical from publishing material wholly or partially produced or edited with AI without significant human oversight. It did not define "significant human oversight" and stated no penalty or enforcer. Referred to the Consumer Protection Committee May 16, 2024; it never passed either chamber and died when the 2023-2024 session ended.
