The New York Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Requirements in News Act (NY Fair News Act for short) would require that any news story “substantially composed, written or produced through the use of generative artificial intelligence” carry a disclaimer. It would also require that any content created using AI be reviewed and approved by a human with “editorial control” before being published.
Additionally, the bill requires organizations to disclose to newsroom staff how and when AI is being used. And it will require safeguards that prevent confidential information, particularly about sources, from being accessed by AI.
Meanwhile, S9144 “prohibits the issuance of permits for new data centers” for at least three years. The bill cites rising electricity and gas rates for residential, commercial and industrial customers. National Grid New York says requests for “large load” connections have tripled in just one year, with demand expected to grow by at least 10 gigawatts over the next five years. According to Data Center Map, there are already more than 130 data centers in New York.
