Introduced by M. of A. BORES -- read once and referred to the Committee
on Science and Technology
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to transparency
and safety requirements for developers of artificial intelligence
frontier models; to amend a chapter of the laws of 2025 amending the
general business law relating to the training and use of artificial
intelligence frontier models, as proposed in legislative bills numbers
S. 6953-B and A. 6453-B, in relation to the effectiveness thereof;
and to repeal certain provisions of the general business law, relating
thereto
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds and
2 declares all of the following:
3 1. New York is leading the world in artificial intelligence innovation
4 and research through companies large and small and through the state's
5 remarkable public and private universities.
6 2. Artificial intelligence, including new advances in foundation
7 models, has the potential to catalyze innovation and the rapid develop-
8 ment of a wide range of benefits for New Yorkers and the New York econo-
9 my, including advances in medicine, wildfire forecasting and prevention,
10 and climate modeling, and to push the bounds of human creativity and
11 capacity.
12 3. In building a robust and transparent evidence environment, policy-
13 makers can simultaneously protect consumers, leverage industry exper-
14 tise, and recognize leading safety practices.
15 4. As industry actors conduct internal research on their technologies'
16 impacts, public trust in these technologies would significantly benefit
17 from access to information regarding, and increased awareness of, fron-
18 tier AI capabilities.
19 5. Greater transparency can also advance accountability, competition,
20 and public trust.
21 6. Incident reporting systems facilitate understanding and monitoring
22 of the post-deployment impacts of artificial intelligence.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.

1 7. Unless they are developed with careful diligence and reasonable
2 precaution, there is concern that advanced artificial intelligence
3 systems could have capabilities that pose catastrophic risks.
4 8. While the major artificial intelligence developers have already
5 voluntarily established the creation, use, and publication of frontier
6 AI frameworks as an industry best practice, not all developers are
7 providing information that is consistent and sufficient to ensure neces-
8 sary transparency and protection of the public. Mandatory, standardized,
9 and objective disclosures by frontier developers are necessary to
10 provide the government and the public with timely and accurate informa-
11 tion.
12 9. Timely reporting of critical safety incidents to the government is
13 essential to ensure that public authorities are promptly informed of
14 ongoing and emerging risks to public safety. This reporting enables the
15 government to monitor effectively in the event that advanced capabili-
16 ties emerge in frontier artificial intelligence models that may pose a
17 threat to the public.
18 10. It is the intent of the legislature to create more transparency,
19 and collective safety will depend in part on frontier developers taking
20 due care in their development and deployment of frontier models propor-
21 tional to the scale of the foreseeable risks.
22 § 2. Article 44-B of the general business law, as added by a chapter
23 of the laws of 2025 amending the general business law relating to the
24 training and use of artificial intelligence frontier models, as proposed
25 in legislative bills numbers S. 6953-B and A. 6453-B, is REPEALED and a
