This bill hurts the
people it claims to protect
AI makes expert information and advice affordable for everyone. The proposed legislation would make AI tools that millions depend on illegal to provide in New York.
Legal access disappears
Millions of New Yorkers who can't afford lawyers use AI to understand leases, immigration forms, and small claims processes. This bill would cut them off.
Health info goes dark
AI helps people understand symptoms, navigate insurance, and find affordable care. Under this bill, those tools would be forced to stop providing medical information in NY.
Startups leave the state
New York's AI ecosystem — 14,000 startups and growing — would face crippling compliance costs. Many will relocate to states that welcome innovation.
Expert advice shouldn’t be a luxury.
AI makes it accessible.
These are the people Albany’s bill would leave behind.
The laundry machines were fixed in the same month during which she sent the AI-generated letter to her landlord.

Active bills in the New York State Legislature that affect access to AI-powered information.
AI Chatbot Professional Advice Ban
Would prohibit AI chatbots from providing information across 14 licensed professions, cutting off access for millions of New Yorkers who rely on AI for legal, medical, and financial guidance.
AI Chatbot Penalty Enhancement Act
Would impose severe criminal penalties on AI companies whose chatbots provide information that leads to harm, with vague definitions that could chill all AI development in New York.
AI Chatbot Disclosure Requirements
Would require AI chatbots to clearly disclose their non-human nature to users. A reasonable transparency measure that we generally support with minor amendments.
