Bill > HB1209

This bill updates Tennessee's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Council by first redefining "artificial intelligence" as a machine-based system capable of making predictions, recommendations, or decisions that influence environments through machine and human inputs. The bill expands the council's membership from 24 to between 24 and 27 members, allowing for the addition of two to three nonvoting expert members, with at least two gubernatorial appointees having demonstrated AI research or development experience. The council is now tasked with identifying best practices for data privacy and security for state agencies, referencing existing enterprise AI policies. Additionally, the bill requires the council to compile an annual inventory of federal and state AI-related laws by December 31st each year, which must identify potential legal conflicts, suggest regulatory revisions, and evaluate how existing and proposed regulations align with federal directives and industry frameworks. These changes aim to provide more comprehensive oversight and guidance on AI development and implementation in Tennessee, with the new provisions taking effect on July 1, 2025.
