Eric Adams, administration of New York City Mayor, introduced a plan for the adoption and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) within the local government, along with a new integration into city applications, stated Cointelegraph.
Sources revealed that on October 16, 2023, the administration announced that it is developing a framework through which city agencies can “carefully” evaluate AI tools and their risks. The framework is expected to help build government employees’ knowledge and skills of AI technologies.
“Through the creation of this simple, easy-to-use tool, we are removing barriers to city resources that have the potential to positively impact small businesses across New York,” Maria Torres-Springer, deputy mayor for housing, economic development and workforce, explained.
It is believed that the new AI chatbot will be able to source information from over 2,000 NYC business-related web pages. The web pages might be able to provide information on compliance with codes and regulations, available business incentives, and best practices to avoid violations and fines, Cointelegraph concluded.
