AI Summary
This bill requires that state government entities, which include departments, agencies, and local subdivisions, cannot enter into contracts for software that prevent them from installing or running that software on their chosen hardware. Additionally, the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA), a state agency responsible for technology, must conduct an annual inventory of all artificial intelligence (AI) systems used by state agencies, defining AI as a machine-based system that makes predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing environments. This inventory, starting by December 31, 2026, will detail the AI system's name, vendor, capabilities, and whether it underwent an impact assessment. The GTA will also develop policies for AI development, procurement, and use by December 31, 2027, and will produce an annual report on the AI inventory to be shared with state leadership. All state agencies must cooperate with the GTA in this process.
