This bill amends the existing laws regarding the use of information technology and artificial intelligence (AI) systems by state agencies. It repeals and reenacts RSA 21-R:6, I to change the advisory role of the information technology council, which will now include advising the commissioner on various aspects of technology, including the development and use of AI systems. The bill also allows the commissioner to establish an artificial intelligence-related advisement committee and mandates the maintenance of an inventory of AI systems used by executive branch agencies.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, RSA 21-R:9-b, which requires the commissioner to submit an annual report detailing the use of AI systems, including compliance with ethical standards, efficiency gains, and any incidents of unauthorized data use. The report will also assess the impact of AI on workforce composition and training needs. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, and it is noted that the bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue.
