New York's rules in force apply to insurers and bind AI companion operators and state agencies, not physicians.
Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview
Since Nov. 5, 2025, a law on AI companions has required operators to refer suicidal users to crisis services. A 2024 insurance circular letter expects insurers to test underwriting and pricing AI for unfair discrimination. The LOADinG Act keeps state agencies' automated decisions under human review. S9051-B, signed Oct. 28, 2026 as Chapter 368, bars unsafe companion features from Jan. 1, 2027 unless age assurance shows the user is not a minor.
Three passed bills await the governor: A3411-B, requiring generative AI operators, such as a practice's patient chatbot, to warn that outputs may be inaccurate; A6578-B, on AI training data; and the Health Information Privacy Act, exempting HIPAA covered entities. S8484, limiting AI in psychotherapy to administrative use, and S7263-A, on chatbots posing as licensed professionals, stalled in Senate Rules. An earlier health privacy bill was vetoed Dec. 19, 2025.
