Bill > SB69

This bill requires the Attorney General to establish and maintain a comprehensive program focused on building internal expertise in artificial intelligence (AI). The program will involve creating a dedicated team or office within the Department of Justice to handle AI-related legal and policy issues, recruiting and training staff with specialized knowledge in AI, machine learning, and automated decision systems, and collaborating with academic institutions, civil rights organizations, technical experts, and other state agencies like the Department of Technology. The bill mandates that the Attorney General submit a public report to the Legislature by July 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, detailing the department's AI-related activities, key developments in AI law and policy, and recommendations for additional state oversight or safeguards. The goal of this program is to develop a deeper understanding of AI's applications, potential risks, regulatory implications, and potential impacts on civil rights, ensuring that the state is well-prepared to address the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging artificial intelligence technologies.
