What questions should the Speaker & City Council ask AI CEOs? Help @beta.nyc inform the conversation. NYC Council is holding a rare Committee of the Whole on AI. Monday, October 5 · 11 am City Hall. How should local government use AI? Build an open source lab? Add your voice to the conversation.

Next week, NYC Council is hosting a rare “Committee of the Whole” to interrogate the issues around artificial intelligence. If you had five questions that the City Council Speaker could ask the Mayor or to AI companies, what would those questions be? I’m compiling @beta.nyc testimony.

This Brooklyn Democratic Party County Committee meeting was an anti-democratic disgrace. Shame on the leaders of the party, who ignored legitimate questions from reformers, tried to get the cops to eject people, insulted dissenters, and pushed through Bichotte-Hermelyn's power grab. 📷🧵
