Committee on Technology

Monday, December 8, 2025 · 1:00 PM AM · 250 Broadway - 8th Floor - Hearing Room 3

TL;DR

The Technology Committee held hearings on several digital privacy and data protection measures, focusing on how New York City can better protect residents' personal information in the digital age. The committee discussed new laws to define and protect private data, require security standards for city websites, and assess how artificial intelligence affects different groups—particularly women and minorities. Most proposals were postponed for further consideration rather than voted on immediately.
