Chair Dinowitz closes hearing with summary of AI policy gaps

All right, I want to thank my fabulous co-chair, Chair De La Rosa, my neighbor to the south, for this really, really important hearing.

I think anyone who is watching saw that there are a significant number of gaps

in the DOE's AI policy, how we already have these tools in our classroom, and yet the guidance isn't in place for a number of critical elements, including bias and equity, including student safety, and including

academic impact and cognitive offloading.

This is personal to us as parents, but it's also important to anyone in New York City who wants to see a bright future for our kids, kids who are critically thinking, kids who are going to be the future of our city.

So we look forward to more answers from the DOE, really shaping a policy that makes sense for our students, keeps them safe, keeps them protected, all while

expanding their knowledge and making sure we have rigorous academic standards here in our city.

Thank you so much.

Thank you again, co-chair.

Thank you to all the staff and the sergeants and everyone who testified today.

And the hearing is adjourned.
