The sponsor's argument
Why Kristen Gonzalez says this is needed
Artificial intelligence technology is already an integral part of New Yorker's daily lives. In the private sector, Al is already being used in education, health care, employment, insurance, credit scoring, public safety, retail, banking and financial services, media, and more, yet few regulations have been adopted to protect New Yorkers from serious issues like bias and inaccuracy. It is the duty of government to protect citizens and hold developers and deployers accountable for irresponsible practices and harm caused through errors of their systems.
