Vendors providing generative AI systems to New York entities, or operating such systems in New York, will need to ensure their platforms support the display of conspicuous warnings regarding output accuracy and appropriateness. This may require UI modifications or providing deployers with tools to implement such warnings.

Sample vendor questions

  1. Does your generative AI system's user interface allow for the display of custom or mandatory warnings?
  2. Can your platform programmatically generate or display disclaimers about potential inaccuracies or inappropriate outputs?
  3. Do you offer features or guidance to help deployers comply with state-level AI transparency regulations like those proposed in New York?
  4. How do you ensure that your system's output can be accompanied by necessary user-facing disclosures?
