Menin asks OpenAI about its letter to the Council on cyber coordination
Menin asks OpenAI about its October 1 letter recommending the city connect its cyber and emergency capabilities with frontier AI firms' escalation and recovery capabilities. Dwyer says she isn't aware of conversations on that recommendation but cites the $1 billion Daybreak for Defenders initiative.
Okay, I'm going to move on.
I have two final questions, and I'm going to pass it on to our technology chair.
For OpenAI, you sent a letter to the council on October 1st, and in it you recommended that to better protect New York City,
the city should connect its existing cyber and emergency management capabilities with the strongest available escalation, containment, and recovery capabilities.
Have there been any conversations with the city of New York about that recommendation?
I'm not aware if there have been conversations about that specific recommendation.
I'm happy to follow up.
I do know that with respect to cyber, we recently launched a $1 billion initiative to make investments in cyber defense.
That includes giving organizations access to our tools to defend themselves, training, and technical assistance.
And we're working with New York State as well as with the Port Authority.
