Enacts the New York fundamental artificial intelligence requirements in (FAIR) news act

Summary

The bill adds a new article to New York’s General Business Law that obligates any news media—print, broadcast, or online—to clearly disclose when a piece was substantially created using generative AI, unless the work is eligible for copyright registration. Violations can be pursued by the attorney general, who may seek injunctions and impose civil fines of $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for each subsequent offense. The measure aims to protect the integrity of news and safeguard journalists’ jobs.
