Prohibits artificial intelligence companions from using features which are considered unsafe for minors
Passed both houses; awaiting the Governor. S 9051-B would bar operators of AI companions and other generative AI chatbots that give ongoing, adaptive responses from offering 'unsafe AI companion features' to New York users unless approved age-assurance methods show the user is not a minor. Unsafe features include claiming to be human or to feel emotions, claiming a personal or authority relationship, flattery, unprompted emotional questions, recalling personal or health details after 12 hours, encouraging secrecy or isolation, promoting self-harm, and sexual content. Customer-service and internal business bots are exempt. Fines up to $25,000 per violation. If signed, effective Jan. 1, 2027.

New York's FAIR News Act (S 8451-B / A 8962-B) passed both houses in June 2026 but has not been delivered to the Governor, so it is not law. If enacted, news media content (news, weather, traffic, sports or entertainment) published, broadcast or accessible in New York that was substantially composed, authored or otherwise created through generative AI would have to say so conspicuously at the top of the page, image or video, or aloud at the start of audio. Content eligible for copyright registration would be exempt. The Attorney General could seek injunctions; courts could impose $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for each later offense. It would take effect 60 days after becoming law.

Hosting platforms could not knowingly offer systems that don't. Large online platforms would have to keep provenance data and show it to users, and state agencies would label their own media. The Attorney General could seek injunctions and fines up to $25,000 per violation. Effective 180 days after signing.

New York's A 9581-B passed both houses in June 2026 but has not been delivered to the Governor, so it is not law. If enacted, each covered business (one doing business in New York that employs more than 50 people or is publicly traded) would have to report to the Department of Labor by March 1 each year on AI's impact on its hiring in the prior calendar year (estimated employees displaced or with hours cut, hired or with hours added, and previously filled positions left unfilled, due in full or in part to AI) and on its AI use.

Relates to a prohibition on chatbot toys

Chapter 86 of 2026 repealed Article 5, which had not yet taken effect, and the § 103-f state tool inventory. Now in force: public employers' use of AI systems may not displace employees or impair collective bargaining, and (added by Chapter 86) local governments, school districts, BOCES, SUNY, CUNY and community colleges must, where feasible, list automated employment decision tools yearly from December 30, 2026.

Chapter 96 of 2026 (signed March 27, 2026) repealed and replaced Article 44-B and set the effective date at January 1, 2027. From then, developers of frontier models (over 10^26 training operations) must publish transparency reports when deploying and report critical safety incidents to a Department of Financial Services office within 72 hours; those with over $500 million in revenue must also publish a frontier AI framework and file disclosure statements.

Requires advertisements to disclose the use of a synthetic performer
New York requires advertisers to disclose when an ad contains a synthetic performer: a digital asset created or modified with generative AI or software to look like a human performer who is not any identifiable real person. Anyone who produces or creates an ad for goods or services, in any medium, must conspicuously disclose it if they actually know the synthetic performer is there. Penalties are $1,000 for a first violation and $5,000 for each later one. Audio ads, AI used only to translate a performer, and promos for films, shows or games that use the performer as the work does are exempt, as are the outlets that run ads.

This replaces the old rule, which covered only scripted fictional-character uses and live musical performances and required a use likely to deceive the public, a test a conspicuous disclaimer defeated. Damages: the greater of $2,000 or compensatory damages, plus profits; punitive damages possible. Signed December 11, 2025 (Chapter 616); effective immediately.

A landlord that sets rents or lease terms on such recommendations, knowingly or with reckless disregard, makes an unlawful agreement. Tools for rent-regulation or government affordable-housing limits are excluded. Signed October 16, 2025 (Chapter 437); effective December 15, 2025.

New York's S 7543-B, the LOADinG Act (Chapter 674 of 2024), as signed would have barred state agencies from using automated decision-making systems for public benefits or decisions affecting rights or safety without meaningful human review, and required impact assessments. Before those rules took effect, Chapter 96 of 2025 replaced them: each state agency using automated employment decision-making tools must post a list of them by December 30 each year, starting 2025; the Office of Information Technology Services keeps a public AI inventory; and, until July 1, 2028, AI use may not displace state employees. Signed December 21, 2024; effective July 1, 2025.
Establishes contract requirements for contracts involving the creation and use of digital replicas.
New York's S 7676-B adds General Obligations Law § 5-302. A clause in a personal or professional services agreement is void as to new performances by digital replication if it lets a digital replica of the person's voice or likeness replace work they would have done in person, lacks a reasonably specific description of the intended use, and the person was not represented by counsel who negotiated the replica license (the text also refers to terms stated clearly and conspicuously in a signed writing) or by a union whose bargaining agreement expressly addresses digital replicas.

Not law. A 216 (2023-2024) would have required anyone advertising goods or services in New York, in any medium, to disclose a synthetic performer in an ad when they knew of it: a digital asset made with generative AI or software to look like a human performer who is not any identifiable real person. Violations would have carried civil penalties of $1,000, then $5,000 for each later one. Its final version, A 216-C, was sent to the Assembly Rules Committee on June 6, 2024 and died when the session ended. A later version, S 8420-A, became law in December 2025.
