Details

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection used Google Gemini to generate an image that was edited and incorporated into the icon for the NYC Noise app. The tool was used once in 2025 under human supervision, and no personal or identifying information was collected or processed. The AI was provided only a text prompt, and the resulting image was combined with other graphics by staff to produce the final icon.
