James Vacca is an American politician who served in the New York City Council from the 13th district from 2006 to 2017. He is a Democrat.
In August 2017, as chair of the Committee on Technology, Vacca introduced an algorithmic transparency bill, Int. 1696-2017, that would require city agencies “that use algorithms or other automated processing methods that target services, impose penalties, or police persons to publish the source code used for such processing” – a nationwide first. The bill was influenced by the scholarship of danah boyd, Kate Crawford, and Cathy O’Neil. After public hearings and negotiation with city agencies, an amended bill, Int. 1696-A, passed the City Council unanimously in December 2017. The amended bill creates a task force to consider the issue and report to the city in late 2019. Researcher Julia Powles, assessing the amended bill in The New Yorker, predicted that the task force’s findings will have significant international and domestic impact, but warned that the bill’s lack of reporting requirements for city agencies means the task force will need to rely on agencies’ voluntary disclosures, which may be sparse.
