[isoc-ny] Upcoming NYC City Council hearing - Oversight - Ethical Implications of Using Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision Systems.

[ISOC-NY announcements]

You may recall that, back in December 2019, ISOC-NY joined with the NAACP
Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) and other co-partners to host
Automating Bias: How Computers Are Making Decisions About Your Life.  (video

Now the City Council has scheduled a hearing on the issue. If you are
interested in participating, you can coordinate with Allie of the NYCLU.

Hi everyone,

I hope this email finds all y’all healthy and hanging in there to the
greatest extent possible.  I know there is so much on everyone’s plates
right now.  Still, we wanted to flag the NYC Council’s upcoming Tech
Committee Hearing
<https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=811939&GUID=E4BEEF03-3486-4EEE-88CC-84977FB661C7>
on “Ethical Implications of Using Artificial Intelligence and Automated
Decision Systems.”  So far, there’s one bill on the agenda, CM Cumbo’s bill
about bias in employment ADS systems
<https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4344524&GUID=B051915D-A9AC-451E-81F8-6596032FA3F9&Options=&Search=>.
Mercifully (maybe?), the hearing isn’t until Nov. 13.  We’d be happy to
strategize or coordinate with anyone who is interested in the hearing.


Thanks,

Allie
