New York Assembly Bill A11175

Introduced
5/1/26  

Caption

Requires state-level public employers that intend to begin any procurement process or plan to acquire or deploy any new application or technology that utilizes an artificial intelligence model or artificial intelligence system to notify any duly recognized and certified employee representative of such intention no less than twelve months before commencing such process.

Impact

If enacted, A11175 will significantly alter the landscape of how public employers in New York approach the implementation of new technologies. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and communication between public employers and employees, ensuring that workers are informed and involved in the transition to new systems. Furthermore, the inclusion of provisions for collective bargaining means that public employers must engage with employee representatives on various related issues, such as the development and implementation of new products, creating transition plans, and training programs for affected workers.

Summary

Bill A11175 aims to establish notification requirements for state-level public employers regarding their intentions to initiate any procurement processes or plans to acquire or deploy new applications or technologies that utilize artificial intelligence models or systems. The bill mandates that public employers must notify any recognized and certified employee representative at least twelve months before commencing these processes. This includes a comprehensive analysis that outlines the impacts on workers, particularly those who may face displacement or require retraining due to the new technologies.

Contention

The introduction of A11175 may lead to debates about the balance between technological advancement and workforce stability. Supporters will argue that the bill promotes necessary safeguards for workers amid increasing automation, while critics may contend that it could hinder public employers' ability to quickly adapt to technological changes. There is potential for pushback from agencies that may view these requirements as cumbersome bureaucratic obstacles that could delay procurement and implementation processes, thus stalling innovation in the public sector.
