New York State "fires a shot" at knowledge equity, plans to ban AI from answering questions in professional fields

A bill has been proposed in New York State, USA, aiming to prohibit AI from answering questions in professional fields such as medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, and engineering.

According to relevant interpretations, this action is essentially not about protecting the public, but rather "an industry that charges $500/hour is using politicians to protect its knowledge monopoly." Lawyers do not want users to know that AI can draft contracts in 30 seconds, doctors do not want users to know that AI can interpret blood reports better than residents, and engineers do not want users to know that AI can review your design sketches overnight. The intention behind New York State's proposed ban on AI answering professional questions is not to protect users, but to protect their businesses.
