What it requires
- This measure is proposed and binds nobody yet; what follows is what it would require if enacted in this form.
- It would require any commercial message in the city that promotes an artificial intelligence model, directly or indirectly, to disclose whether a third-party validator validated the model under the proposed subchapter 27 of chapter 5, in the form the commissioner's rules would set.

What this law does
This measure is proposed and binds nobody yet.
Sponsored by Council Member Carl Wilson, it would bar any person from disseminating, or causing to be disseminated, in the city a commercial message promoting an artificial intelligence model, directly or indirectly, that does not disclose whether a third-party validator validated the model under the proposed subchapter 27 of chapter 5, or that includes a materially false or misleading statement about a substantial risk the model poses, any measure taken or to be taken to manage that risk, or whether the model was validated.
That subchapter is the one Council bill Int 1100-2026 would add. Each violation would carry a civil penalty of up to $25,000, with a separate penalty under section 20-703 where a deceptive advertisement also violates section 20-700, and the corporation counsel could sue to recover penalties and obtain injunctive relief. The commissioner would write rules on the form of the disclosure, and the bill would take effect 180 days after it becomes law.
