 2 artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly influencing deci-
 3 sions and operations across professional fields including medicine, law,
 4 engineering, architecture, education, and finance. To ensure public
 5 safety, ethical alignment, and accuracy, AI systems must be designed and
 6 trained with the substantive input of credentialed professionals from
 7 relevant fields. This act aims to promote accountability and protect the
 8 public by requiring such collaboration.
 9 § 2. The general business law is amended by adding a new article 47-A
 10 to read as follows:
 11 ARTICLE 47-A
 12 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PROFESSIONAL FIELDS
 13 Section 1710. Definitions.
 14 1711. Professional oversight requirement.
 15 1712. Documentation and compliance.
 16 1713. Enforcement.
 17 1714. Rulemaking authority.
 18 1715. Severability.
 19 § 1710. Definitions. For the purposes of this article, the following
 20 terms shall have the following meanings:
 21 1. "Artificial intelligence", "artificial intelligence technology", or
 22 "AI" shall have the same meaning as in subdivision one of section seven-
 23 teen hundred of this chapter.

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