\u201cWe\u2019re gonna run a smarter city,\u201d he told The Post Thursday during an interview at Gracie Mansion.<\/p>\n

Mayor Eric Adams said he plans to rely much more on artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to assist New Yorkers if he\u2019s re-elected to a second term. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m talking about having an opportunity now to use everything from artificial intelligence to blockchain, new technology that\u2019s out there that could make our city smarter, so that our working class people can get the proper delivery of services.\u201d<\/p>\n
One example being explored is using blockchain technology to speed up the process for providing copies of birth and death certificates to the public, the Mayor\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
Another is using AI to quickly translate English to other languages when needed, such as helping authorities better assist victims when they use voice-controlled drones during search-and-rescue missions and other emergencies.<\/p>\n
Adams has embraced the tech industry and digital currency since becoming mayor in 2022, as he\u2019s pledged to help make NYC the crypto capital of the world.<\/p>\n
He put his money where his mouth early on by agreeing to take his first three paychecks in bitcoin. Adams, who earns $258,750 a year as mayor, reported the value of the bitcoin ranging from $5,000 to nearly $55,000 in his financial disclosure statement for 2024 filed with the NYC Conflicts of Interest Board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to Gotham 2.0.
