Government is under constant pressure to deliver more services with fewer resources. To achieve this goal, agencies should avail themselves of innovative approaches to using technology and data to help connect New Yorkers with the services they need in ways that responsibly promote privacy, security, and fairness. In this session, three City leaders will discuss how their offices work to encourage smarter, more efficient government while protecting New Yorkers’ data.
Panelists will be:
- Jeff Thamkittikasem, Director of the Mayor's Office of Operations and Acting Algorithms Management and Policy Officer - Kelly Jin, Chief Analytics Officer and Director of the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics -Geoff Brown, Chief Information Security Officer
