New York Passes AI Emotions Law That Might Make It Illegal For AI To Say ‘I Love You’ Forevermore

New York has passed an AI law restricting how AI systems express emotions, according to Forbes contributor Lance Eliot, who writes that the measure could make it illegal for AI to say "I love you." Eliot, writing in a Forbes Innovation piece, argues the law "sounds good, but it has issues" without detailing the statute's specific provisions in the available text. The law's restrictions on emotional expression by AI systems would set new compliance requirements for developers operating in New York.
