What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Council Member Julie Menin announced a package of proposed AI regulations for New York City. The proposals aim to establish a financial incentive for individual whistleblowers by allowing them to receive a portion of fines or penalties recovered from companies that violate applicable laws. A separate bill would create a private right of action allowing people harmed by certain malicious uses of AI to sue the companies responsible.

The package calls for third-party validation and human 'kill switches' for AI systems marketed or deployed in the city. Furthermore, it mandates 24-hour reporting of certain AI safety incidents involving city contracts, establishing a potential first-in-the-nation regulatory framework.
