The sponsor's argument

Why the sponsor says this is needed

A recent investigation conducted by ProPublica found that software companies are collecting proprietary information from landlords ac ross the country, including those located in New York State, to help owners and management companies engage in anticompetitive practi ces such as the price fixing of rents. For example, ProPublica's report found that 10 property managers who work for companies that oversee 70% of all multifamily apartments in one Seattle neighborhood used software, or artificial intelligence, to set the rents across its buildings. What's more, these algorithms recommend that landlords warehouse units to increase demand and drive up rental costs in specific markets. The United States Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into software companies that engage in rental price fixing. With New York State in the throes of an affordability crisis, it is critical that we crack down on practices that artificially inflate rents for tenants across the state. This legislation will strengthen New York State's antitrust law to prevent companies from emplo ying artificial intelligence, or algorithms to fix market prices.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
