New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday issued an executive order<\/a> creating a new citywide technology office replacing the existing Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. The order also put his newly appointed chief technology officer in charge of all city IT and cybersecurity policy, doing away with a separate chief information officer.<\/p>\n

The new Office of Technology and Innovation is to be led by Matt Fraser, formerly the New York Police Department\u2019s deputy commissioner for information technology. In addition to Fraser’s new CTO title, Adams’ order also states that Fraser will be considered the city’s CIO and commissioner for information technology and telecommunications where “legally required.”<\/p>\n

The new office will manage all information technology, security, privacy and telecommunications policy, duties that were split across agencies under former Mayor Bill de Blasio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have all of these different offices in technology,” Adams said during a press conference on Wednesday. “We\u2019re going to bring them all together so that we can have one office under one CIO. It\u2019s not just about dollars and cents, it\u2019s about common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams initially referred to Fraser as the new citywide CIO, but quickly corrected himself, saying “CTO.”<\/p>\n

Adams also said the consolidation represents a \u201ccommon sense\u201d approach to government in unifying data analytics, technology and telecommunications efforts that have previously been \u201cdisjointed.” Several formerly independent agencies, including New York City Cyber Command and the Office of Data Analytics, are also being absorbed into the Office of Technology and Innovation, which Adams said will be more aligned on cybersecurity than the previous organizational structure and will make better use of 311 data to glean insights about city issues.<\/p>\n

Not all of New York’s existing tech bureaucracy is coming along. Adams, a former New York Police Department captain, discontinued the role of algorithms management and policy officer, a position created in 2019<\/a> after a lengthy review of how city agencies, like the NYPD, use technologies like machine learning to aid in decision making.<\/p>\n

Adams also said during his press conference he\u2019s expecting Fraser to introduce internal systems, as well as work with the city comptroller, to \u201caudit the hell\u201d out of the city\u2019s technology programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrust me, there is fraud and mismanagement in these agencies,\u201d Adams said. \u201cWe need to go after them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
