I joined colleagues, Capital Region immigrant neighbors, and NYIC to say: no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.
Masked ICE agents continue to abduct our neighbors, stoke a culture of fear in our communities, and now, their reign of terror extends to our airports.
![“SAG-AFTRA supports the implementation of smart guardrails around the use of AI. The NY FAIR News Act will maintain the integrity of journalism, and help ensure that AI technology is a tool that serves the people who report the news to the public, not one that replaces or exploits them. This is a meaningful, enforceable protection for both journalists and consumers of news media."

![“The DGA strongly supports the passage of the New York FAIR News Act because it puts media professionals at the center of the conversation about how AI will be used in newsrooms. By requiring transparency, oversight, and consent before AI is trained or deployed in news operations, the bill establishes clear guardrails that protect workers' rights and their professional judgment. Those protections are essential to maintaining the integrity of news and the trust of the public at a critical time for the newsgathering profession. When the professionals who work in news are protected, the quality and credibility of journalism are protected as well.

![“Journalists follow ethical and professional standards to hold power to account and document the fullness of human expression. We want our readers to trust in the work we do. Media company executives, on the other hand, believe they can escape accountability by bypassing these same standards and avoiding transparency when it comes to artificial intelligence. That's precisely why the unethical and secretive use of generative AI in media is such a threat to journalism, and by extension, our nation's democratic processes. This legislation is vital to safeguard the public's right to know what is being done in their name and is necessary to protect and expand the public's trust, built by media workers across the country and in our union, in human-powered journalism."
