Relates to requiring responsible capability scaling policies
This bill requires businesses operating in New York State that use artificial intelligence to create and submit "responsible capability scaling policies" to the Chief Information Officer (CIO). These policies must identify, monitor, and address potential harms from AI systems. Companies must file annual compliance certifications with the CIO, who can grant exemptions or designate covered entities, and the Attorney General may audit these policies. The law applies broadly to all businesses offering products or services to New York consumers using AI, with implementation starting 90 days after enactment.
