NYC Open Data Week has been a household obsession for me since I first discovered it through the incredible work of Adrienne Schmoeker, and I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be stepping onto the stage as a speaker this year. Join me this Wednesday, March 26th at 6:30pm at Cornell Tech, where I'll be exploring how AI and Open Data can help democratize policy analysis. I'll be presenting a deep dive into Local Law 97, NYC's groundbreaking initiative to cut carbon emissions in its largest buildings. I'm humbled to be sharing the spotlight with an impressive lineup of researchers tackling critical urban challenges: ? Sara Venkatraman analyzing public building construction data ? Zhi Liu optimizing NYC Parks 311 systems ? Atmika Pai and Bhoomika Mehta developing predictive maintenance for subway lines ? Breanna Green leveraging AI and NLP for community boards ? Rishabh Surendran predicting urban tree health through open data ? Nikhil Garg analyzing congestion pricing effects This is where data meets real-world impact in our city. Don't miss this chance to see how open data is transforming NYC ??
