The proposed bill establishes an "artificial intelligence pilot program act" aimed at creating an artificial intelligence governing board and outlining its powers and duties. The board will consist of members appointed by the governor, including individuals with expertise in artificial intelligence, ethics, and the private sector. The board's responsibilities include providing recommendations for the pilot program, advising on the use of generative artificial intelligence, and developing ethical guidelines. The pilot program is designed to enable the use of generative artificial intelligence by state employees and agencies, with strict compliance requirements to ensure legal and ethical standards are met.
Additionally, the bill creates an artificial intelligence pilot program fund to support the implementation of the act, with the state treasurer responsible for managing the fund. The department of technology, management, and budget will oversee the pilot program, which must begin by January 1, 2027, and will last until its objectives are fulfilled. The program will require pilot participants to adhere to various regulations, including ensuring human oversight of AI outputs and protecting confidential information. A report detailing the program's findings and outcomes will be submitted to state officials after its conclusion.
