Requires experts in professional fields to be consulted when developing and maintaining artificial intelligence technology for use in such fields.
Impact
If enacted, A09219 will create a legal framework that necessitates the involvement of 'professional domain experts' in the development of AI systems intended for use in various regulated domains. This includes the requirement for documentation to affirm expert involvement during the different phases of technology development, training, and risk assessment. Such regulations could lead to improved safety protocols and reduce the likelihood of harmful AI outputs, thereby safeguarding public interests while utilizing advanced technologies.
Summary
Bill A09219 seeks to amend the general business law by mandating that the development and maintenance of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in professional fields must involve consultation with recognized experts in those fields. The bill aims to enhance public safety and ensure that AI systems are designed in alignment with ethical standards and operational accuracy. It particularly targets sectors such as healthcare, law, finance, and education, which are significantly influenced by AI technologies. By prompting professionals to directly engage in the design and validation processes, the bill strives to promote accountability in AI applications.
Contention
While supporters argue that this bill is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of AI technologies, critics may view it as a potential hindrance to innovation. They could contend that imposing additional requirements on developers may slow down the pace of technological advancement or complicate the deployment of AI systems. The application of the bill may also raise questions about the interpretation of 'professional oversight' and the feasibility of consistently employing qualified experts in all necessary stages of AI product development.
