"AI has enormous potential to transform how New York and cities elsewhere care for residents, workers, and visitors. The immense scale of the New York City's operations we have over 6,000 miles of streets alone presents great opportunities for utilizing AI to increase efficiencies, improve data-driven decision-making, and target areas of inequality. AI could also be transformative in addressing our affordability crisis. At the same time, the mayor must be realistic about AI's risks and the city's responsibility to keep people safe from AI-induced harm."
"First, the mayor should fully deploy his CTO to direct all the city's AI work and give agency heads the resources to support those initiatives. The mayor should charge the team to formulate citywide AI governance, propose deploying new AI tools, and analyze how AI can drive the affordability agenda. The CTO should also oversee all procurement of AI goods and services and negotiate favorable terms with vendors on data privacy and cybersecurity."
New York City is positioned to lead the AI revolution and should harness AI to improve care for residents, workers, and visitors. The city's vast operations — including over 6,000 miles of streets — create opportunities for AI to increase efficiencies, enable data-driven decision-making, and target inequalities. AI can contribute to solutions for the affordability crisis while posing risks that require active mitigation to protect residents from AI-induced harm. The mayor should empower the CTO to coordinate citywide AI governance, oversee procurement, and align AI projects with affordability goals. AI funding and risk management must be prioritized in budget negotiations.
