This bill establishes a framework for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by state agencies in Florida. It defines key terms related to AI, including what constitutes an artificial intelligence system and the scope of state agencies. The Florida Digital Service is tasked with conducting a comprehensive study to assess the impact of AI technology on state agencies, which will include identifying agencies that utilize AI, the purposes of such use, and the associated costs of procurement, implementation, and operation of AI technologies.
The bill mandates that the Florida Digital Service submit a written report detailing the findings of the study to the Governor and legislative leaders by March 1, 2027. This report will provide valuable insights into the current landscape of AI usage within state agencies and inform future decisions regarding AI implementation in Florida's government operations. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
