New York State not New York City.

I don’t know why Mamdani is pictured

the text in this image is also just flat-out wrong: the proposed legislation does not actually "ban AI from answering questions" on these subjects at all, as this post claims it does.

https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/kristen-gonzalez/ny-state-senator-kristen-gonzalez-her-bill-address-ai explains that her bill is strictly about impersonating licensed professionals:

We have documented instances of AI chatbots providing false medical license numbers to users and documented cases of real harm from AI chatbots providing misinformation. This is what my common-sense legislation addresses—protecting users from misinformation, scams, and fraud. This legislation does not prohibit a user from asking a chatbot questions or receiving general information and advice, as long as the chatbot is not presenting that information as a licensed professional. It would also not prohibit licensed professionals from consulting AI technology in the course of their work.
