The #NYFAIRNewsAct was introduced by Senator @patriciafahy46.bsky.social and Assemblywoman @nilyrozic.bsky.social. This bill protects journalists around fair AI use in the workplace, and mandates clear disclaimers to the public when artificial intelligence is used in any published news content.

Today New York made history, becoming the first state to require companies disclose when they use AI-generated actors in advertisements.
New York wouldn’t be New York without its film and TV industry. Responsible AI policies like this protect the actors who keep it running.

Great news for New York! Post-mortem right of publicity and the disclosure of synthetic performers in ads have both been signed into law. Thank you to @GovKathyHochul for your dedication to protecting #SagAftraMembers and New Yorkers.

We talked about how SAG-AFTRA’s 118-day strike was about protecting humanity. @rebeccadamon.bsky.social shared that her union was focused on consent, compensation, and control. Those are the same guardrails we need for every worker facing AI. #AFTCB2025
