Given Trump’s election, his coziness with tech billionaires like Elon Musk, and Big Tech’s rapidly expanding, unregulated use of AI technologies, it’s imperative that New York leads the way in codifying protections against AI misuse. The LOADinG Act would ensure that New Yorkers have safeguards against this misuse with high standards for transparency, fairness, and accountability—setting a vital precedent for responsible AI governance across the nation. States’ use of AI systems has

• Resulted in errors in awarding people state benefits that cost millions to fix
• Perpetuated existing racial biases in policing
• Threatened to displace state employees

These systems cannot be allowed unregulated in New York State agencies.

Join us, Senator Kristen Gonalez, and allies like AFL-CIO in demanding that Hochul sign the LOADing Act into law to protect working class New Yorkers from unchecked AI systems. The LOADing Act would

• Stop procurement and usage of AI systems that are evaluated to produce biased outcomes
• Make the evaluations of these systems regular and public
• Prevent displacement of New York State employees by AI systems

Tell Hochul New York must lead the way in regulating AI.
