Bill > SB1362

This bill updates Tennessee's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Council by first redefining "artificial intelligence" as a machine-based system that can make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments, specifically through perceiving environments, abstracting perceptions into models, and using model inference to formulate options. The bill expands the council's membership from exactly 24 to between 24 and 27 members, allowing for two to three additional nonvoting expert members who can be invited by joint chairs from private sector or academic backgrounds. The bill also requires the council to develop an annual inventory of federal and state AI-related laws, identifying potential regulatory conflicts, suggesting revisions, and evaluating alignment with federal directives and industry frameworks. Additionally, the council must now recommend best practices for data privacy and security for state agencies, specifically referencing the enterprise AI policy established by the department of finance and administration. These changes aim to enhance Tennessee's approach to AI governance, innovation, and regulatory oversight, with the bill set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
