 AN ACT to amend the civil rights law and the executive law, in relation
 to the use of artificial intelligence systems

 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 act (New York AI act)".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds and
 4 declares the following:
 5 (a) A revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced to the
 6 point that comprehensive regulations must be enacted to protect New
 7 Yorkers.
 8 (b) Artificial intelligence is already an integral part of New York-
 9 ers' daily lives. In the private sector, AI is currently in use in areas
 10 such as education, health care, employment, insurance, credit scoring,
 11 public safety, retail, banking and financial services, media, and more
 12 with little transparency or oversight. A growing body of research shows
 13 that AI systems that are deployed without adequate testing, sufficient
 14 oversight and robust guardrails can harm consumers and deny historically
 15 disadvantaged groups the full measure of their civil rights and liber-
 16 ties, thereby further entrenching inequalities. The legislature must act
 17 to ensure that all uses of AI, especially those that affect important
 18 life chances, are free from harmful biases, protect our privacy, and
 19 work for the public good.

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

 1 (c) Safe innovation must remain a priority for the state. New York
 2 state is home to thousands of technology start-ups, many of which exper-
 3 iment with new applications of AI and which have the potential to find
 4 new ways to employ technology at the service of New Yorkers. The goal of
 5 the legislature is to encourage safe innovation in the AI sector by
 6 providing clear guidance for AI development, testing, and validation
 7 both before a product is launched and throughout the product's life
 8 cycle.
 9 (d) New York must establish that the burden of responsibility of prov-
 10 ing that AI products do not cause harm to New Yorkers will be shouldered
 11 by the developers and deployers of AI. While government and civil socie-
 12 ty must act to audit and enforce human rights laws around the use of AI,
 13 the companies employing and profiting from the use of AI must lead in
 14 ensuring that their products are free from algorithmic discrimination.
 15 (e) Close collaboration and c
