New York state government agencies will have to conduct reviews and publish reports that detail how they’re using artificial intelligence software, under a new law signed by Gov.

New York state agencies must now monitor and regulate their use of generative artificial intelligence under a new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul. The legislation aims to ensure transparency, protect public sector jobs, and prevent AI from undermining workers’ rights.

A bill checking the use of generative artificial intelligence, a rapidly developing technology, was hailed as a win by the labor movement.
