Yes.
2:09:42
Thank you.
2:09:43
Thank you, Victoria, for including me in this late hour.
2:09:47
My name is Tiercino, and I serve as the 1st secretary of the social Democratic of America.
2:09:51
Also, no need to nationally at the committee of the 2nd social, international.
2:09:55
We are the social distraction within the Democratic Party.
2:09:58
The automated decision system and artificial intelligence law need to include the commission on public information and communication, which is led by the office of the public advocate.
2:10:09
The Commission of Public Information Commission has not met in 3141 days, which is approximately 80 years.
2:10:18
I am testifying today to emphasize that automation decisions system and artificial intelligence rule must always include oversight by a human with an adequately high threshold of intelligent coaching.
2:10:32
The oversight of artificial intelligence will inevitably become a repetitive task.
2:10:38
Model language can be dangerous.
2:10:40
It's not developed with comprehensive community input.
2:10:44
We hope the law will mandate that CD agency disclose the specific model language they use And if a model language can be disclosed by the vendor, their tool should not be used in New York City.
2:10:58
As mentioned by Consumer Gutierrez earlier, the law needs to include the hypertension deadline citizens notification of being in the database, and other action that put the citizen at the center of the discussion.
2:11:10
We believe that the public advocate commission on public information and communication is a very good elected party If only would meet, outreach for public engagement, particularly to community board, has been lacking.
2:11:24
For example, there is a long standing hacker group called 2600 that have been meetings since 1980 and the city group center on every 1st Friday of each month.
2:11:36
The government of Germany included a local computer hacker group in decision making.
2:11:41
Why is New York City not engaging with its type of activists?
2:11:45
In terms of politics, FDA meet once a month in the local atrium, and our event can be found on social, it's a US slash event.
2:11:53
Anyone is welcome to join.
2:11:56
The social Democratic of America has launched a the Remedy Block program to educate citizens about for different politics where we can discuss and brainstorm on this idea with the local community.
2:12:08
So, anyway, to educate with sponsor documentary county on on which is available on PBS, I am available to answer any question you have.
2:12:18
