Office of Artificial Intelligence Oversight within the city\u2019s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Purpose of the Office:<\/strong> This new office would supervise the use of AI bots and algorithmic tools to prevent their misuse in denying people opportunities in jobs, housing, credit, and access to government services.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bipartisan Support:<\/strong> The bill has received support from multiple council members including Virginia Maloney (D-Manhattan) and Frank Morano (R-Staten Island), showing cross-party backing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Concerns Over AI Exploitation:<\/strong> Councilmember Won emphasized the vulnerability of her constituents, who are likely to suffer from unchecked AI exploitation without sufficient means to fight back.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Addressing Existing Inefficiencies:<\/strong> Despite a local law already in place to regulate AI in hiring, an audit revealed severe flaws in its enforcement, underscoring the need for stricter supervision.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Consumer Protection Focus:<\/strong> The new office would step in when AI algorithms deceive or exploit consumers, providing mechanisms for recourse and penalties for such violations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Current Legislation Limitations:<\/strong> An audit found that the existing 2021 law regulating automated employment decision tools lacks effective enforcement and a robust complaint-handing and review process.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYC bill would protect New Yorkers from rogue artificial intelligence https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/23\/us-news\/nyc-bill-would-protect-new-yorkers-from-rogue-artificial-intelligence\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-23 12:08:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219132,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/hands-typing-laptop-ai-chatbot-128531335.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-219131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219131"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219133,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219131\/revisions\/219133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
