Two bills designed to strengthen protections for civil service employees against industry changes caused by artificial intelligence, as well as harassment and discriminatory practices, passed the New York City Council on Dec. 18 and are now awaiting the signature of the mayor. Queens Council Member Nantasha Williams introduced both bills in 2024.
The first bill, Int. 1066, establishes an interagency task force to examine how artificial intelligence and algorithmic tools are being introduced across city agencies and how these systems are affecting civil service employees.
