Proposed Effective Date

New York Senate Bill 934-A — An Act to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring notices on generative artificial intelligence systems
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 that the system's outputs may be inaccurate. The obligation applies broadly to any generative AI system, defined as self-supervised models that emulate input data to generate synthetic content including images, video, audio, and text. Failure to display the required notice subjects the owner, licensee, or operator to civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, with each unnotified user constituting a separate violation for each instance. No private right of action is created. The bill was substituted by A3411B.

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 that the system's outputs may be inaccurate. The obligation applies broadly to any generative AI system, defined as self-supervised models that emulate input data to generate synthetic content including images, video, audio, and text. Failure to display the required notice subjects the owner, licensee, or operator to civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, with each unnotified user constituting a separate violation for each instance. No private right of action is created. The bill was substituted by A3411B.

Enforcement & Penalties
Enforcement Authority
Civil penalty enforcement. The statute provides for civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation but does not designate a specific enforcement agency or grant a private right of action. Enforcement would presumably fall to the New York Attorney General under general business law enforcement authority. Each user not provided the required notice constitutes a separate violation for each instance.
Penalties
Civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. Each user the owner, licensee, or operator fails to provide a notice to constitutes a separate violation for each instance. No private right of action is created. No provision for actual damages, injunctive relief, or attorney's fees.
Who Is Covered
What Is Covered
"Generative artificial intelligence system" shall mean a class of artificial intelligence models that are self-supervised and emulate the structure and characteristics of input data to generate derived synthetic content, including, but not limited to, images, videos, audio, text and other digital content.

Plain Language
Owners, licensees, or operators of generative AI systems must display a clear and conspicuous notice on the system's user interface warning users that the system's outputs may be inaccurate. This is a standing disclosure requirement that must be visible on the interface — not buried in terms of service. Failure to provide the notice subjects the responsible party to civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, with each user not provided the notice constituting a separate violation for each instance. The obligation applies broadly to any generative AI system, covering text, image, video, audio, and other synthetic content generators.
Statutory Text
2. 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. 3. 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.
