Updating Use Guidance for Generative AI

By Hande Güven and Jessica Wang

This project recommends that New York City provide city agencies with new guidance on how to use GenAI. In particular, it advocates that the city update its existing guidance to 1) more clearly incorporate New York City’s AI Principles into its guidance, and 2) package its recommendations into a more user-friendly framework so that less technical users will be able to engage with it.

This project was completed as part of the 2025 Science and Technology Policy Fellowship, an Aspen Policy Academy program to teach science and technology experts how to impact policy.
