◆ The sponsor's argument

Why James Sanders Jr. says this is needed

In society and in New York State, artificial intelligence is becoming more ubiquitous. From targeted advertising on the Internet, bots on social media, smart cars, smartphones to human-like reasoning; the relationship between machine and human is changing. Artificial intelli- gence is the intelligence displayed by. Machine. In computer science, artificial intelligence research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents" any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. New York State and the United States of America should lead in the development, implementation and responsible policy with artificial intelligence. Currently in New York State, laws govern the conduct of humans, and sometimes the machines that humans use, such as drones, phones and cars. As artificial intelligence, however, advances and becomes more humanlike and requires less or no human input or intervention, who is responsible for any laws that are violated by the AI? Should the state restrict certain uses of Al such as weaponry, protection of privacy, protection of confidential information, the protection of bodily harm? The need for a properly guided policy regime is Paramount. We must not interfere with the progress of innovation, yet we must protect New York society from illic- it and dangerous uses of artificial intelligence
