Imposes liability for damages caused by a chatbot impersonating certain licensed professionals

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the General Business Law that bars owners of chatbots from letting the AI pose as doctors, lawyers, or other licensed professionals. Operators must clearly tell users they are talking to a bot and can be sued by the attorney general with daily fines of up to $15,000 for violations. The measure aims to protect the public from misleading or harmful advice from AI that mimics qualified experts.
