OTI provides feedback on Introduction 1024, which proposes to require publication of a centralized list of AI tools approved for use by city agencies. The testimony expresses general alignment with the goal of transparency but raises some concerns.

• Notes that the AI Action Plan already includes an initiative to establish a directory of procured AI tools
• Highlights that the current Local Law 35 compliance cycle already promotes visibility of agency AI use
• Expresses concern that the legislation assumes a blanket approval process for tools, which is not current practice
• Requests clarification on what gaps the legislation seeks to address
