New York Proposed Bill Would Ban AI Chatbots from Providing Medical or Legal Advice

A proposed bill in the New York Senate would prohibit artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots from providing medical or legal advice to consumers and require including clear and conspicuous notices that users are interacting with an AI platform. If enacted, the legislation would prohibit chatbots from providing information or advice that run afoul of professional licensing laws. The bill also includes a private right of action, which would enable users to sue chatbot owners for damages and attorneys’ fees – a key mechanism for strengthening enforcement.
