New York Assembly Bill A. 11320 (introduced May 11, 2026 and referred to the Committee on Correction; not enacted) would bar the state corrections department from using artificial intelligence in two areas. Section 1 would amend Executive Law section 259-c, subdivision 4. The department could not use "artificial intelligence," an "artificial intelligence model," or an "artificial intelligence system" (as defined in the General Business Law and State Technology Law sections the bill cites) in three tasks. These are evaluating the risk and needs principles used to measure rehabilitation of people appearing before the parole board, deciding which incarcerated individuals may be released to parole supervision, and setting the level of supervision for people released on parole. Each release approval and assigned supervision level would also have to be approved in writing by the board of parole or its designee. Section 2 would amend Correction Law section 71-a, which covers transitional accountability plans. These are individualized case management plans developed when a person is admitted to department custody. The department could not use AI in developing the plan, and each plan would have to be approved in writing by the commissioner or the commissioner's designee. Section 3 says the act would take effect immediately.
