We all know the benefits of A.I. ... but that also requires responsible safeguards as well. And so the point of our hearing today was to look at what some of those responsible guardrails can be. And we heard testimony from the companies. We heard testimony from whistleblowers such as Jacob Coxon and other safety experts as well. [...] So, this idea that A.I. companies should self-regulate is troubling. We need responsible guardrails. We need third-party independent validators who are free from conflicts of interest. And so we need whistleblower protection so that we encourage whistleblowers to come forward. These are all the types of legislation that we're looking to pass in the city of New York.
