 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring tran-
 sparency from generative artificial intelligence developers for jour-
 nalism providers

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York
 2 artificial intelligence transparency for journalism act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares
 4 that:
 5 (a) A free and diverse press was critical in the founding of our
 6 democracy and continues to be the lifeblood for a functional society;
 7 (b) New York has a compelling interest in protecting news publishers
 8 and broadcasters that report and distribute news from unfair business
 9 practices and competition. Every day, journalism plays an essential role
 10 in New York and in local communities, and the ability of local news
 11 organizations to continue to provide the public with critical informa-
 12 tion about their communities and enabling news publishers and broadcast-
 13 ers to receive fair market value for their content that is used by
 14 others will preserve and ensure the sustainability of local and diverse
 15 news outlets;
 16 (c) Communities without newspapers and broadcast news programs lose
 17 touch with government, business, education, and neighbors. They operate
 18 without journalists working to keep them informed, uncover truth, expose
 19 corruption, and share common goals and experiences;
 20 (d) Quality journalism is key to sustaining civic society, strengthen-
 21 ing communal ties, and providing information at a deep level;

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 8595--B 2

 1 (e) Seventy-three percent of United States adults surveyed said they
 2 have confidence in their local newspaper. Broadcasting remains a domi-
 3 nant and trusted source of news in communities throughout New York;
 4 (f) Studies show that news content comprises a disproportionate amount
 5 of generative artificial intelligence training data. News content is
 6 especially valuable to artificial intelligence developers because it is
 7 high-quality, professional writing created by human beings;
 8 (g) After training, generative artificial intelligence systems contin-
 9 ue to access news websites, podcasts, broadcasts and digital platforms
 10 in order gain access to f
