SUMMARY:From Data to Action: Addressing NYC Winter Heating Complaints with Data Visualization (Open Data Week)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Masaru Kakutani (CUNY Graduate Center) \nThis presentation is designed to show how anyone interested in actionable policy can\, with the help of generative AI\, quickly create convincing stories. This demonstration is designed to help anyone who is interested in generating clear policy suggestions using NYC Data. A standard generative AI will assist in developing policy suggestions\, but the template ensures that the AI provides only support\, not direction or guidance\, for those interested in creating policies. \nBio: Masaru Kakutani has 45+ years of experience working in finance\, and is now a student at CUNY Graduate Center.

SUMMARY:Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Sasha Richardson (CUNY Graduate Center) \nThe Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset (BKED) is a research archive designed to document how AI models like GPT-5 and Gemini distort Black history and culture through specific “hallucinations”. Rather than viewing these errors as random bugs\, the project frames them as “epistemic erasure\,” where algorithms invent authorities or omit key figures in ways that mirror historical discrimination. The dataset includes the original prompts\, the incorrect AI responses\, and human-verified annotations that identify exactly where the models failed against standard archival sources. \nBio: Sasha Richardson works at the intersection of data science\, AI\, and the humanities to design tools and systems that turn complex information into actionable insights. Currently pursuing an MA in Digital Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center\, she is exploring how advanced analytics and AI can address equity\, resource allocation\, and decision-making challenges.

SUMMARY:Space Apps Showcase (Open Data Week)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Nate Cooper (Kingsborough Community College) \nIn this session\, learn about the NASA Space Apps Challenge\, NASA’s global data hackathon. Each year NASA posts 11 challenges to use its data in unique ways over the course of a weekend. Last year\, there were over 100k participants globally. You’ll meet participants from last year’s hackathon including winning teams\, judges\, and mentors from the NYC local site. What does it take to turn an open data set into something useful\, fun\, and engaging? Learn what happened\, what projects are still being developed\, and how to build your own solutions using NASA’s data. Following a presentation\, we’ll do a hands-on workshop so you can learn how to build your own open data app. \nBio: Nate Cooper is a lecturer in the UX Design concentration at Kingsborough College. Nate has been a Partner at SWARM\, a UX\, Product Design Agency founded in 2013 in New York City. \nNate has been developing websites professionally since 1997. After working in marketing at Apple Inc\, Nate established himself within the New York tech and startup community. His writing has appeared in Mashable and his book Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML\, CSS and WordPress has been a bestseller in Programming: CSS books on Amazon.com.

SUMMARY:What's Lost in the Waters? Dive into NYC's Flood Vulnerability Index (Open Data Week)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Sneha Srivastava (Macaulay Honors College) \nThe goal of this project is to visualize the variables included in New York City’s Flood Vulnerability Index dataset. The key visualization is a three-dimensional interactive model\, mapping the Flood Susceptibility to Harm and Recovery Index against the median household income of each census tract within the city\, in addition to maps of future flooding scenarios. As such\, the project tackles issues of environmental justice and sustainability\, while addressing the policy implications of climate resilience in different neighborhoods. \nBio: Sneha Srivastava is pursuing her second master’s degree in Data Analysis to complement her background in International Affairs and market research.
