Ex-Anthropic Researcher Coxon to Testify at NYC AI Hearing

A former researcher at AI company Anthropic, Jacob Coxon, is set to speak at a hearing on artificial intelligence (AI) in New York City, according to The Hindu. He was asked to attend by New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin. The report does not give further details on what the hearing will cover or when it will take place. Still, having someone who once worked inside a major AI lab speak to city lawmakers suggests officials want direct, informed input as they look at how AI affects residents and businesses. Insiders like Coxon can offer a firsthand view of how these systems are built and used, which can shape local rules or oversight plans going forward.
