A child in Lewis County, New York, has died after contracting measles, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement Monday. It is the state’s first measles-related death in 30 years.

New York governor says case is ‘devastating reminder of what’s at stake’ when vaccine protections are eroded
"Survivors should be able to trust the institutions responsible for protecting them," New York Governor Kathy Hochul said.
No company should sell AI chatbots ‘pretending to be their friend or more’ to kids, says Hochul as she signs New York’s new law for under-18s.
Technology
Under the law, AI companies must block chatbots from pretending they’re humans when chatting with a user under 18. They also restrict other inappropriate conversations with kids, including those that involve flattery, unprompted emotional questions, and encouragement surrounding secret-keeping. The law requires AI companies to verify the ages of users and include “at least one option that does not depend solely on government ID.” Last month, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani banned younger schoolkids from using AI.
