What does a mayor actually do about artificial intelligence?
George A. Cardenas is Chairman and Commissioner of the Cook County Board of Review and a candidate for mayor of Chicago.
He came to Chicago from Durango as a boy, went to Lane Tech, joined the Navy to pay for school, and audited Fortune 500books before spending nearly twenty years as alderman of the 12th Ward.
He now runs the office that hears roughly a quarter of a million property tax appeals a year.
In this conversation he becomes the first candidate in the 2027 field to commit to a structure: a chief of AI and a digital transformation officer inside his first hundred days, working with the CIO, corporation counsel, the inspectorgeneral and procurement, and accountable to the mayor.
”Within my first hundred days, I would designate a chief of AI and a digital transformation officer, that would be working with the current CIO and corporation counsel and the inspector general and procurement and operating departments, and ultimately to be accountable to the mayor. To me. For thatimplementation.”
