Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced plans to transform New York City into a global hub for cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. If elected mayor, Cuomo intends to appoint a Chief Innovation Officer to spearhead the integration of these technologies across city agencies. The proposal includes establishing an Innovation Council with sector-specific advisory committees to enhance adoption, workforce development, and regulatory efficiency. Cuomo highlighted New York City's historical role in innovation and aims to secure its leadership in emerging technologies.
