Andrew Cuomo pitches crypto-fueled comeback in NYC mayoral bid
Andrew Cuomo wants to make NYC a global crypto and tech hub with a new innovation office and council for AI, blockchain and biotech.
Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo is reportedly betting big on crypto and AI as part of his bid to return as the city’s next mayor.
The New York City mayoral candidate plans to make NYC “the global hub of the future” by coordinating initiatives across the blockchain, AI and biotech industries and modernizing how the city integrates new technology, the co-host of Crypto in America, Eleanor Terrett, said on Saturday.
Part of this will also involve creating a new chief innovation officer position aimed at attracting more investments and jobs to boost innovation, she said.
