New York Governor Kathy Hochul discussed various tech policies in a recent interview, emphasizing the need for responsible AI use and online protections for children. She supports restrictions on platforms like Instagram to ensure safer usage for teens, which may also affect adult anonymity online due to age verification requirements.
Hochul also addressed the challenges posed by 3D-printed guns and the ongoing debate over data center regulations. She signed a moratorium on new data center construction, indicating a cautious approach to balancing innovation with public safety and privacy concerns.
