Albany, NY - “The Union Movement has prioritized ensuring the responsible use of artificial intelligence by all employers. I am encouraged that this legislation will result in transparency on state agency AI use and commonsense protections for the state workforce. While we recognize AI’s potential to enhance efficiency, it is crucial that its use respects the invaluable contributions of dedicated public sector workers.

"I commend Governor Hochul for positioning New York as a global leader in the safe, ethical use of AI. I also thank bill sponsors Senator Gonzalez and Assemblyman Otis for spearheading this groundbreaking legislation.”
