NYDFS CL 7 (2024) — Insurance AI Anti-Discrimination
New York · Effective 2024-07-11 · NYDFS Insurance Circular Letter No. 7 (2024) (July 11, 2024)
New York's Department of Financial Services issued Insurance Circular Letter No. 7 on July 11, 2024, establishing the most substantive state insurance AI rule in the country. Going beyond the NAIC Model Bulletin adopted by 24+ states, NYDFS CL No. 7 requires insurers to conduct a comprehensive 'proxy assessment' before using any AI system (AIS) or external consumer data source (ECDIS) in underwriting or pricing — and prohibits any such use unless the insurer can demonstrate the system does not produce unfair or unlawful discrimination against protected classes. When an AI-influenced adverse underwriting decision is made, the insurer must provide written notice within 15 days of the decision. Governance, documentation, and DFS market-conduct examination requirements apply immediately.

New York Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act (personalized prices need a label)
New York · Effective 2025-11-10 · N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law 349-A (art. 22-A)
If a business sets the price of a product or service using an algorithm that draws on your personal data, and then shows that personalized price to you as a New York consumer, it has to tell you so with the notice: 'THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.' The goal is to make personalized 'surveillance pricing' visible rather than hidden. The Attorney General enforces the rule and can seek up to $1,000 per violation after a cease-and-desist notice.

In September 2025 Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion class settlement, though Judge Alsup denied preliminary approval without prejudice pending additional information on the claims protocol and attorney fees.

No jury trial occurred: a 2023 opinion had denied summary judgment and pointed toward trial, but the court invited renewed briefing and reversed course in the 2025 ruling.
