Dinowitz on pre-considered bills 2129 and 2130 for AI reporting
Dinowitz introduces his pre-considered bills: Intro 2129 requiring annual reporting on algorithmic tools approved for schools, and Intro 2130 requiring quarterly reporting on data breaches of algorithmic tools. He emphasizes transparency as critical for turning AI oversight from trust to accountability.
Thank you, Council Member.
Finally, the committee will hear two bills sponsored by myself, pre-considered intro 2129
in relation to annual reporting on algorithmic tools approved for use in schools, and pre-considered introduction 2130 in relation to quarterly reporting on data breaches of algorithmic tools in schools.
As we will discuss today, AI is already entering schools in ways that are meaningfully and perhaps detrimentally shaping the educational experiences of students,
as well as the professional experiences of teachers, counselors, administrators, and everyone in between.
That makes transparency critical.
Families and educators should know what tools are being used, what data they collect, whether they have been tested for bias and accuracy, and what happens when sensitive student data is exposed.
By requiring regular public reporting on approved AI tools and related data breaches, these bills will help turn AI oversight from a matter of trust into a matter of accountability.
I look forward to hearing testimony from the administration about these pieces of legislation.
Thank you to all the members who are here that have been named by Chair De La Rosa.
I would also like to thank my Chief of Staff, Jenna Klaus, and my Legislative and Budget Director, Theo Salter, the Education Committee staff, including Councilor Alejandra.
