All year, we've been watching the ADS Task Force work to audit and improve the systems that make decisions governing NYers daily lives. We saw the stonewalling, the resistance, the banging of the proverbial table, and in the end, a report with little substance of use. /2

Now, thanks to the tireless work of Rashida and SO MANY others who refused to let this opportunity pass without comment... if you want to know how to actually do right by your constituents and have real AI transparency? Read #ConfrontingBlackBoxes 👇🏻 /3

In contrast to the ICO policy guidance that came out a few days ago, it hurts to see NYC remain secretive and opaque at the expense of all of us. NYC was supposed to be a leader in protection against harm from AI, instead we lag far behind. /4

Lawmakers, you've let us all down. Please take the time to read AI Now's incredible work, and learn from the experts there who are all working to protect people from automated harm. @BilldeBlasio @NYCComptroller @nycpa @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BobHolden4NY @CMPeterKoo
