New York State Proposes New Bill to Ban AI Chatbots from Providing Legal and Medical Advice
According to U.S. media outlet StateScoop, the New York State Legislature is considering a bill that would prohibit AI chatbots from providing legal or medical advice and would allow users to sue operators of noncompliant chatbots. Senate Bill S7263 was introduced in the previous legislative session and passed unanimously (6–0) last Wednesday before the Senate’s Internet and Technology Committee. It is part of a broader legislative package aimed at regulating AI chatbots. The bill primarily targets AI chatbots that impersonate licensed professionals—such as doctors or lawyers—and bans them from delivering any “substantive response, information, or advice” that could violate professional licensing laws or constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
