NY Gov uses AI to audit every law and cuts 5 years of work to months
ny gov kathy hochul used ai to review all state regulations in months instead of five years, signaling a shift toward automated governance.
new york governor kathy hochul has adopted ai to conduct a comprehensive audit of the state's entire legal code, identifying outdated rules like a $25 dog hunting fee and permits for pregnant workers. where manual review by staff would have consumed five years, the ai system completed the analysis in a couple of months, allowing the administration to rapidly target and remove obsolete regulations. this automation of regulatory review sets a precedent for using ai to streamline government bureaucracy and reduce administrative burdens. hochul endorsed the approach for all government levels, contrasting this administrative ai use with her recent moratorium on new ai data centers.
