A01746 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1746C
 
SPONSOR: Vanel (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act creating a temporary state commission to study and investigate how to regulate artificial intelligence, robotics and automation; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expira- tion thereof   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Creates a temporary state commission to study and investigate how to regulate artificial intelligence, robotics and automation   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 officially creates the commission and addresses the issues to be studied. Section 2 discusses who will make up the commission and what their responsibilities shall be. Amended. Amended version included appointees from CUNY and SUNY. Section 3 says the commission shall receive no compensation for their services. Section 4 gives the commis- sion the authority to conduct hearings. Section 5 requires a report be submitted no later than 30 days following the effective date of the act. Section 6 says it will take effect immediately and shall expire and be deemed repealed December 31, 2020.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): Section 5 and Section 6 amended   JUSTIFICATION: In society and in New York State, artificial intelligence is becoming more ubiquitous. From targeted advertising on the Internet, bots on social media, smart cars, smartphones to human-like reasoning; the relationship between machine and human is changing. Artificial intelli- gence is the intelligence displayed by. Machine. In computer science, artificial intelligence research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents" any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. New York State and the United States of America should lead in the development, implementation and responsible policy with artificial intelligence. Currently in New York State, laws govern the conduct of humans, and sometimes the machines that humans use, such as drones, phones and cars. As artificial intelligence, however, advances and becomes more humanlike and requires less or no human input or intervention, who is responsible for any laws that are violated by the AI? Should the state restrict certain uses of Al such as weaponry, protection of privacy, protection of confidential information, the protection of bodily harm? The need for a properly guided policy regime is Paramount. We must not interfere with the progress of innovation, yet we must protect New York society from illic- it and dangerous uses of artificial intelligence   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: N/A   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: TBD   EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective Immediately
