Requires the owner, licensee, or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system to clearly and conspicuously display a notice on the system's user interface informing users that outputs may be inaccurate. Failure to provide the notice subjects the owner, licensee, or operator to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation, with each user not provided the notice constituting a separate violation.

Summary

Requires the owner, licensee, or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system to clearly and conspicuously display a notice on the system's user interface informing users that outputs may be inaccurate.

The bill does not designate a specific enforcement agency and does not create a private right of action. The bill was substituted by A3411B and did not advance.

Enforcement & Penalties
Enforcement Authority
Civil penalty enforcement. The statute provides for civil penalties assessed against the owner, licensee, or operator for failure to display the required notice. No specific enforcement agency is designated in the bill text. No private right of action is created.
Penalties
Civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. Each user not provided the required notice constitutes a separate violation for each instance. No private damages, injunctive relief, or attorney's fees provisions.
Who Is Covered

Gen. Bus. Law § 399-zzzzzz(2)
Plain Language
Any owner, licensee, or operator of a generative AI system must display a clear and conspicuous notice on the system's user interface warning users that outputs may be inaccurate. This is an unconditional disclosure requirement — it applies to every generative AI system regardless of use case or user type. The notice must appear on the user interface itself (not buried in terms of service). This is a narrow, single-purpose obligation focused specifically on accuracy limitations, distinct from broader AI identity disclosure requirements.
Statutory Text
The owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system shall clearly and conspicuously display a notice on the system's user interface that the outputs of the generative artificial intelligence system may be inaccurate.

Gen. Bus. Law § 399-zzzzzz(3)
Plain Language
This provision establishes the penalty for violating the notice requirement: a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation, with each user not provided the required notice constituting a separate violation. This is an enforcement hook — it defines consequences for non-compliance with the notice obligation in subdivision 2 but does not create an independent compliance obligation.
Statutory Text
Where such owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelligence system fails to provide the notice required in subdivision two of this section, such owner, licensee or operator shall be assessed a civil penalty up to one thousand dollars for each violation. Each user the owner, licensee or operator fails to provide a notice to shall constitute a separate violation for each instance.
