Resources for journalists covering AI policy in New York State.
Key Facts
The Bill
Senate Bill S7263 would ban AI chatbots from providing information across 14 licensed professions in New York State.
The Impact
Millions of New Yorkers rely on AI tools for legal, medical, and financial information. This bill would eliminate that access for those who can't afford professional consultations.
Who Gets Hurt
Low-income tenants, immigrants, small business owners, first-generation students — the people least able to afford the professional services this bill would force them to use.
Our Position
We support smart AI regulation (disclosure, transparency, accountability) but oppose blanket bans that eliminate information access.
Quotable
“S7263 doesn't protect New Yorkers — it protects professional gatekeepers at the expense of the people who can least afford to hire them.”
“Banning AI from explaining what a law says is like banning libraries from shelving legal textbooks. The information is public — the medium shouldn't be illegal.”
“We're not asking for no regulation. We're asking for smart regulation — rules that promote transparency without eliminating access.”
