The bill establishes a task force in Washington State to assess the current uses and trends of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and to make recommendations regarding its regulation and standards. The task force will consist of various members, including representatives from the legislature, the attorney general's office, community advocacy organizations, and the technology industry. It is tasked with examining the implications of generative AI on safety, privacy, civil rights, and equity, and will produce a series of reports detailing its findings and recommendations, with deadlines set for December 2024, July 2025, and November 2025. The task force is required to meet at least twice a year and will be administered by the attorney general's office.

The bill emphasizes the importance of responsible AI use, highlighting the potential benefits and risks associated with the technology, particularly concerning historically excluded communities. It outlines the need for guiding principles, regulatory structures, and public education on generative AI, while also addressing issues of bias, civil liberties, and data privacy. The task force's work is set to expire on June 30, 2027, and the act is declared necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, taking effect immediately.
