Pace Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Augmented Intelligence Lab
The Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, which teaches on the Pleasantville campus in this county as well as in Manhattan, runs a named Artificial Intelligence Lab, an Augmented Intelligence Lab, a Robotics Lab and a Cyber Range. Augmented rather than artificial is a deliberate second framing, and it is the one that describes what most work in Westchester County will actually look like — a person assisted, not replaced.

New York State Chief AI Officer
The state appointed a Chief AI Officer, Dr Eleonore Fournier-Tombs, to oversee applications of AI intended to streamline processes and make government services more accessible. A named officeholder rather than a committee gives Westchester County a specific person accountable for what the state deploys, which is the difference between governance and a mission statement.

Case study

Machine learning applied to knee osteoarthritis and breast cancer imaging
Computer science professor Juan Shan teaches students to apply machine learning to medical imaging for detecting knee osteoarthritis and breast cancer. Detection in imaging is where AI has its longest clinical record and its best-documented failure modes, so a Westchester County clinician can ask this faculty about both rather than only the first.

A computer science degree built around AI, vision and robotics
The BS in computer science covers artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and robotics as core material rather than as electives. The school reports 96 per cent of graduates in employment, further study or service, and an average masters salary of 96,569 dollars — figures a Westchester County student can weigh against the cost before enrolling.

The Pace Cyber Range and computational intelligence centres
Alongside the AI labs the school runs a Cyber Range and centres for computational intelligence and environmental technology. A cyber range is a rehearsal environment for attacks, and the overlap with AI matters to Westchester County because the same techniques now appear on both sides of that exercise.

NYS-G25-002, Generative Artificial Intelligence Use in the Workplace
A 2025 guidance document dealing specifically with generative AI at work, issued separately from the broader 2024 acceptable use policy. Separating generative AI from AI in general is a distinction worth borrowing in Westchester County: the risks of a system that writes are not the risks of a system that scores, and one policy covering both tends to serve neither.

New York RAISE Act — frontier AI transparency
Effective 1 January 2027, the RAISE Act imposes transparency requirements on frontier AI developers. For most Westchester County organisations this is a rule about their suppliers rather than about them, which is the useful way to read it: it determines what a buyer is entitled to know about a model before deploying it.

NYS-P24-001, Acceptable Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies
New York issued its first statewide policy on acceptable AI use in State government in 2024, requiring employees to consult it before implementing any new tool that uses AI, alongside the open-source policy ITS-P19-005 and the general acceptable use policy NYS-P14-001. A numbered, citable policy that must be consulted before adoption is more useful to a Westchester County organisation than a strategy document, because it is written to be applied rather than admired.

Questions about AI in Yonkers, New York
Which AI rules apply to organisations in Yonkers, New York?
This hub records 4 verified public-sector AI resources covering Yonkers, New York, including The Pace Cyber Range and computational intelligence centres, NYS-P24-001, Acceptable Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies and NYS-G25-002, Generative Artificial Intelligence Use in the Workplace. Each entry names the body that issued it and links to the source, so the position can be checked rather than taken on trust. Rules reach an organisation from more than one level at once — a state instrument and a county or city policy can both apply — which is why they are listed together here.

2 verified organisations are are recorded for this market, including Pace Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Augmented Intelligence Lab and New York State Chief AI Officer.

What AI training or workforce provision exists in Yonkers, New York?

What does the local economy mean for AI adoption in Yonkers, New York?
Westchester County has a population of 996,888, and Education/Health Services leads employment at roughly 29%.
