Menin outlines hearing goals and Council AI bills
Menin lays out the hearing goals: understanding AI threats and liability, identifying benefits of responsible AI, and discussing a slate of Council bills covering third-party validation, whistleblower incentives, and emergency preparedness.
Our goals in today's hearing are straightforward.
To better understand the potential threats, dangers, and liability posed by AI development.
To identify the benefits that responsible AI development brings to New York City government and to its residents.
And to discuss a slate of city council bills which seek to provide responsible safety guardrails for AI.
These bills include a wide range of both proactive and defensive measures, from legislation that requires artificial intelligence systems
to pass a third-party validation that is free from conflicts of interest and incentivizes whistleblowers who come forward with a portion of the penalties assessed,
