New York expands responsible AI training statewide Download the App Get your news faster with our mobile experience New York expands responsible AI training statewide Mon, April 6, 2026 at 1:23 PM Updated Mon, April 6, 2026 at 7:55 PM Gov. Hochul expands AI training tool to more than 100,000 New York state employees (Getty) (WRGB) — New York state is expanding artificial intelligence training and tools to more than 100,000 state employees, a move Gov. Hochul said is aimed at helping workers use the technology safely and responsibly while improving public services.
Hochul announced the statewide rollout of AI education and training for the entire New York State workforce, calling it a fulfillment of her 2025 State of the State pledge. The expansion makes New York “the largest state in the nation to securely provide this emerging technology to its entire state workforce,” according to the announcement.
We are putting New York at the forefront of the AI revolution, ensuring that the journey forward is safe and responsible. I’m excited to fulfill our vision of embracing innovation, upskilling our employees and better serving New Yorkers.
The statewide expansion follows a recently completed pilot program managed by the Office of Information Technology Services that provided AI training and access to AI Pro, a secure generative AI assistant tool, to more than 1,200 users across eight state agencies.
Results from the pilot found that 75% of participants said they saved time using AI Pro, 90% said their understanding of AI improved, and users generated more than 170,000 prompts during the pilot period. The state also reported that 86% of users said they want to continue using AI Pro after the pilot.
The training is being offered in partnership with InnovateUS, an online platform governed by a coalition of public sector learning and innovation leaders. InnovateUS has trained more than 200,000 public sector learners across 50 states and cities and in 80 countries. New York’s program includes a two-part training designed to teach state employees responsible AI use in the public sector.
Alongside the training, state employees will have access to AI Pro, a generative AI assistant developed by ITS and powered by Google Gemini. The state said the tool is intended to provide a secure environment for employees to build AI skills and explore ways AI could help agencies solve problems and improve service delivery.
The AI Pro tool will be provided to the more than 50 state agencies and entities supported by ITS, while AI training will be offered to all state workers. Responsible AI training will be required for agencies that choose to use AI Pro.
New York State Chief Information Officer and ITS Director Dru Rai credited Hochul’s support for the initiative, saying, Governor Hochul has been a national leader without peer when it comes to leveraging technology to enhance productivity in government, improve service delivery and create efficiencies so state agencies can better serve the public.
We are thankful to have incredible support for this groundbreaking initiative and know that responsible AI will bring us limitless possibilities to enact positive change, while giving our employees an opportunity to grow their own skills for the future.
InnovateUS Founder Beth Noveck said, By equipping its workforce with practical AI and digital skills through InnovateUS, New York will be positioned to deliver better, more efficient and responsive services for its residents. At InnovateUS, we look forward to continuing to support Governor Hochul and our New York partners to harness the potential of AI to serve the public.
Elizabeth Moon, managing director of customer engineering for Google Public Sector, said, Equipping New York State employees with both the skills and tools to use AI responsibly is critical to unlocking this technology's potential to drive efficiency and innovation, enabling the public sector workforce to better serve New Yorkers.
” Moon added, “ITS's AI Pro, powered by Gemini, underscores Google Public Sector's commitment to supporting New York State’s digital transformation. We applaud Governor Hochul’s focus on setting an example for how government can embrace technology to build a better future. Assemblymember Steve Otis called the expansion an important step for state agencies.
Governor Hochul’s announcement today marks a vitally important next step to advancing responsible and knowledgeable use of AI tools by state agencies,” Otis said. “Artificial intelligence tools bring great benefits and risks. Providing training programs will help support state employees and provide a framework for quality control protections essential to responsible AI use.
Governor Hochul, the Legislature, and our team at the Office of Technology Services continue to make keeping up with the evolution of AI a priority.
The pilot program began last fall at the governor’s direction and included more than 1,200 participants across eight agencies: the Department of Labor, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, the Department of Health, New York State Homes and Community Renewal, the Office of People With Developmental Disabilities, the Office of General Services, the Division of Human Rights and the Division of the Budget.
The state said participants came from a range of roles, including administrative, communications, policy, legal, service delivery, operations and technical functions. During the pilot, 41% of users entered with no prior experience using generative AI tools, and 87% had received no prior training in generative AI. The state reported that overall confidence using generative AI rose by 36% following the pilot.
The state said pilot participants described ways AI Pro streamlined work and supported decision-making, including crafting executive summaries and policy briefs, translating complex topics into more digestible language, summarizing large reports, consolidating duplicative documents and helping create data dashboards.
The state emphasized that careful human oversight was stressed throughout the pilot and for all uses of AI Pro, and said users reported the tool often allowed them to spend more time on high-level, complex and high-value tasks.
The statewide training and tool rollout is part of Hochul’s broader innovation agenda, which includes the Empire AI initiative, a $500 million partnership among New York public and private universities to establish an AI computing center at SUNY’s University at Buffalo. The state said Empire AI is facilitating statewide innovation, research and development of AI technologies.
The AI training pilot was also part of initiatives announced in Hochul’s 2025 State of the State aimed at equitable growth of the AI industry in New York, including training students for AI-enabled jobs, funding New York AI startups, supporting small businesses with AI adoption and tracking the potential impact of new technologies on the workforce.
Those efforts followed recommendations from the governor’s Emerging Technology Advisory Board, co-chaired by IBM CEO Arvind Krishna and Girls Who Code CEO Dr. Tarika Barrett. The state also pointed to a statewide policy written and issued by ITS, Acceptable Use of AI Technologies, which it described as a roadmap for agencies to adopt AI “thoughtfully, safely and responsibly” while improving efficiency and service delivery.
More recently, Hochul launched the FutureWorks Commission to advise on policies and private-sector interventions intended to protect workers’ economic security while harnessing AI’s economic benefits. The commission will work on strategies for monitoring AI’s impact and identifying interventions so that workers, families and small businesses “not just large corporations,” benefit from the technology.
The governor’s innovation agenda has also been tied to major investments in New York’s economy, including GlobalFoundries’ announced $11. 6 billion expansion of its chip manufacturing campus in the Capital Region, which the state said is expected to create 1,500 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs.
The state also cited Micron’s 2022 announcement of a 20-year, $100 billion investment to create a megafab campus in Central New York, projected to create 50,000 new direct and indirect jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in community benefits.
