Opinion: New York still needs more AI regulation
An opinion piece argues that New York State's existing rules on artificial intelligence are insufficient and that lawmakers should do more to regulate the technology. The piece appears in City & State New York, a publication focused on New York government and politics.
Why this matters: New York is one of the few places where serious AI regulation has a real shot at passing. If it does not, the gap between what AI systems can do and what rules govern them keeps growing. That gap is not abstract. It affects hiring decisions, benefits determinations, and policing tools that touch people's lives before anyone has a chance to push back. The argument here is simple: the window to set rules is open, and New York has not walked through it yet.
