On January 15, Julia Stoyanovich, testified at a public hearing convened by the New York State Senate Standing Committee on Internet and Technology on the regulation of high-risk uses of artificial intelligence in the private sector.

In her testimony, Prof. Stoyanovich emphasized that clear, enforceable oversight of high-risk AI systems can strengthen both public trust and economic development. She noted that AI technologies already influence decisions in domains such as employment, housing, credit, and healthcare, making thoughtful governance essential to ensure that these systems operate safely and fairly.

Prof. Stoyanovich highlighted the importance of transparency, accountability, and education in the design and deployment of AI systems. She underscored that responsibility does not disappear when decisions are automated—it is distributed across designers, deployers, regulators, and institutions that shape how these technologies are used in society.
