Maddy summaryThis New York bill (A 9185) amends criminal law to explicitly include AI-generated communications in the definition of "falsely reporting an incident in the third degree." It directly affects individuals who knowingly use artificial intelligence (including generative AI) to create false reports about crimes, emergencies, or child abuse incidents - such as fabricating emergency alerts or fake abuse reports via AI tools. The law expands existing penalties (class A misdemeanor) to cover these AI-facilitated false reports to authorities or the public, ensuring that AI-generated misinformation about emergencies or safety threats is treated the same as human-created false reports. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes new standards for using artificial intelligence-generated evidence in court. It prohibits admitting AI-created or AI-processed evidence in criminal or civil cases unless the evidence is backed by separate, admissible evidence and the specific AI use is proven reliable through expert testimony. The law defines "AI-created" evidence as new information not deducible from existing data, and "AI-processed" evidence as conclusions beyond what existing data reasonably supports. To be admissible, proponents must demonstrate the AI was rigorously tested for accuracy in relevant contexts and avoid variables that could cause errors.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the New York State Autism Council, a 16-member body within the executive department. The council includes representatives from state agencies (health, education, developmental disabilities), community organizations like NYFAC, parents of children with autism, regional voices, and medical experts. Its key duties include approving autism awareness programs (public education about symptoms and treatments), coordinating research on autism, developing family support services, and creating public information about autism programs. The council also provides annual recommendations to the governor on improving services for individuals with autism and their families. This structure directly affects New Yorkers diagnosed with autism and their families by creating a formal process for shaping autism-related programs and services.
