We kicked off my re-election! It was great to see so many neighbors yesterday in Astoria. Thank you to my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @ZohranKMamdani for joining us and for your support.

Our movement has won and we’re only just getting started 🌹

And this is EXACTLY why we tried to regulate government use of AI.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

sure sounds like AI might've f'd up America's air traffic control system

[David Siffert for Assembly @SiffertForNY]

I’m so excited to chat with @Gonzalez4NY, @EmeritaTorresNY, and @agounardes about all the ways we can protect New Yorkers from Big Tech. RSVP to join us on Thursday at the link below!

[Ryan Schwach 🍁🎃 @RyanSchwach]

Queens State Senator @Gonzalez4NY sees a potential for a positive future with artificial intelligence – but not without reining in the big tech companies behind it.

NEW from our 16-strong bloc of New York State Socialists in Office:

As the largest bloc of democratic socialists in any state legislature in U.S. history, we are ready to lead the fight to tax the rich & build a New York that works for all.🌹

[Zephyr Teachout @ZephyrTeachout]

NYC has a moratorium on student facing AI for K through 8th grade.

Google says we are going to force you to break your own rules, you can't have search without AI.

NYC must call Google's bluff, kick out search, and refer the case to the AG and DA for illegal tying and abuse of monopoly power.

The idea that any other Ed Tech company could say "you only get the tool you want if you break your own policies" would be nonsense.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

On Election Day, 44 various data center moratoriums were on the ballot across America. 43 passed.

[Brian Romero, MSW @Brianr4NY]

Astoria, we got you ♥️ Thank you 🙏🏼

Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service.

Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened.

As the public increasingly pushes back against the use of AI in schools, Google is making clear it will punish those who don’t fall in line.

[Alex Bores @AlexBores]

Yesterday, New York showed that we can lead the country in passing common-sense AI safety regulation.

Proud to work with @SenGonzalezNY and steadfast parent advocates like the Adam Raine Foundation on this bill to ensure that kids are protected from dangerous AI chatbots. Thank you @GovKathyHochul for signing into law.

[NYC-DSA 🌹 @nycDSA]

Bus riders should not have to fear violence over a $3 fare!

New Yorkers need a fully funded bus system that delivers fast, free and reliable service now. Costly fare enforcement that slows service and leads to violence against riders is not the answer!

[Common Sense Media @CommonSense]

Just this week, letters are pouring in to the governor urging her to sign S. 9051, a bill by State Senator @Gonzalez4NY and Assemblymember @AlexBores, which was approved unanimously by the NY State Legislature in June.

DSA elected State Senator @Gonzalez4NY ‘s Responsible Data Center Development Act prevents developers from passing their costs onto the public, and includes renewable energy goals, prevailing wage requirements, and a mandatory hearing at host communities.

[Daniel Atonna @danielatonna]

Dutchess County Legislature voted to cover the Flock cameras, require drivers to leave 3 feet of space when passing pedestrians or cyclists, and call on Governor Hochul to sign the Responsible Data Center Development Act. Thank you to members of @mhvdsa and @forthemany who spoke!

[NYS Senate Democrats @NYSenDems]

“Before we adopt AI tools, we need to make sure that they are effective and safe. Acknowledging that we need to slow the pace of AI development does not deter our technological advancement – it improves it.” — Senator @Gonzalez4NY https://t.co/vtIMru53MO

[NYC Health + Hospitals @NYCHealthSystem]

Thanks to a $5M investment from the New York State Senate, @BellevueHosp will expand its child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient capacity and create more welcoming spaces for young patients to heal.

We're grateful to @SenGonzalezNY and Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins for helping us bring more specialized mental health care to families across NYC. https://t.co/rWWXXtbzEy
