Aviles questions companies on ICE and law enforcement contracts

Council Member Aviles, followed by Gutierrez, to close.

Thank you so much.

To clarify, to close this panel.

Oh.

So I'd like to ask a quick series of questions to each of you.

In this first set, can you just say yes, no, and we can continue to move forward.

So does each of your companies sell or license its products directly or through intermediaries to immigration and customs enforcement or customs and border protection?

I don't know, but I'm happy to get back to you on that.

I'll get back to you on that, Council Member.

I'm also so sorry, I don't know, but we will get back to you.

Okay, nobody knows, but it has been pretty documented that a couple from Google and in particular OpenAI

ICE has been utilizing your technology.

So if you could please provide to this council each of those agreements, if in fact you have them with each of those agencies.

Will your company commit to not using New York City resident data or law enforcement or immigration enforcement applications?

Four, excuse me.

Will your company commit to not using New York City resident data for law enforcement or immigration enforcement applications?

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to get back to you on that.

I work on the policy team, not with our government contracts.

I'm afraid it also would need to get back to you, Council Member.

I have to give you the same answer, Council Member, but I'll ask the lawyers to let us know.

Do any of your companies audit downstream law enforcement use of its products?

I don't have the answer to that.

I'm happy to follow up.

Council member, I will follow up with you.

Same here.

Likewise, we can follow up.

Thank you.

Councilmember Gutierrez.
