Hochul Vies to Make New York an AI Hub With Energy Push

(Bloomberg) – Governor Kathy Hochul positions New York as a center for artificial intelligence companies, and argues that high -winners can help the state gain competitive tax rates for abundant energy and immigrant capabilities.

Orum I want to be number 1, Hou Hochul said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Wednesday. “I am very sensitive to competitiveness with other states.

Like other state leaders, Hochul balances the potential economic benefits of adopting AI and relevant infrastructure projects with the pressure of making residents more to protect the residents from the potential damages of technology, including the effects of mental health.

In June, the New York Legislative Assembly adopted the responsible AI Security and Education Act, which required AI companies to implement security measures before deploying and performing security tests. Hochul refused to tell if he would sign the bill waiting for his approval.

“I must protect the New York people and our business,” he said, “But let the technology industry have a place to be.”

Hochul launched an Empire AI initiative, which provides a public financing of approximately $ 500 million to create what it defines as the first partnership of the nation among the academy, the state government and the private sector.

It also stressed the importance of supporting the energy resources of the state, which is an important concern that AI developers have made agreements for larger and more powerful hungry data centers than ever. Especially Hochul called for more nuclear energy and natural gas in the state.

“I will be the first governor in a generation and I will be a very rare democratal governor who says ‘I can’t assume that we will have power now’. Im

Hochul’s emphasis on supporting energy materials reflects a pressure to pave the way for the Trump administration’s development. However, Hochul also said President Trump’s immigration pressure can weaken New York’s technology ambitions.

“If these students stop coming to our universities and stop withdrawing the brightest people of the world, this is something we need to overcome,” Hochul said. “I’m really afraid of this long -term effect.”
