Evidence snapshot for New York
The evidence shows two initiatives in New York focused on education and opportunity. Justice Through Code, run by Columbia University since 2020, achieved a job-placement rate of over 80% within six months for its first cohort of formerly incarcerated adults learning Python, though this figure comes from a single cohort of roughly 30 people with no control group and no independently published follow-up on later cohorts. NYU Grossman School of Medicine deployed a machine-learning screener in 2019 to recommend medical-school applicants for interview, finding it statistically comparable to faculty reviewers overall, but it recommended fewer economically disadvantaged applicants (25 of 156 versus 44 of 178 by faculty, P=.048). The practices do not provide broader evidence about New York's demographics, policies, or outcomes beyond these two specific programs.
