The first step listed in the city’s AI action plan is establishing an “AI Steering Committee” of city agency stakeholders.
The city said it will publish an annual AI progress report to communicate the city’s updates and implementation of the plan.
Also on Monday, city officials said the government was piloting the first citywide AI-powered chatbot to help business owners navigate operating and growing businesses in New York City.
The AI chatbot, already available in beta on the official city of New York website, was trained on information from more than 2,000 NYC Business web pages.
In a statement announcing the AI action plan, Mayor Adams acknowledged “the potential pitfalls and associated risks these technologies present,” and pledged to be “clear-eyed” about these.
