A 3265 - Enacts the New York Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights

Overview

Bill Number: A 3265
Title: Enacts the New York Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights
Status: REFERRED TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Introduced: January 09, 2024

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this bill is to establish a comprehensive set of rights and protections for individuals in New York regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The bill aims to ensure AI is developed and deployed in a manner that respects individual privacy, prevents discrimination, and promotes transparency and accountability.

Key Provisions

  • Requires AI systems used by state and local government agencies to be tested for bias and discrimination before deployment
  • Mandates that AI systems make decisions in a transparent manner, with explanations provided to affected individuals
  • Grants individuals the right to access information about how AI systems make decisions that impact them
  • Prohibits the use of AI for surveillance, monitoring, or profiling without the knowledge and consent of affected individuals
  • Establishes an AI Oversight Board to monitor compliance, investigate complaints, and recommend policy changes

Affected Parties and Impacts

This bill would impact all New York residents whose personal information or decisions are affected by AI systems used by state and local government agencies. It aims to provide greater individual rights and protections against the potential harms of AI, such as bias, privacy violations, and lack of accountability.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The bill has been referred to the Science and Technology Committee for consideration. If passed by the committee, it would then proceed to a vote by the full state legislature. If enacted, the provisions would take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving agencies time to comply with the new requirements.
