Council to circulate draft artificial-intelligence policy; mayor schedules town hall Friday at noon
Summary
Council said the mayor will circulate a one-page draft AI policy for municipal use and will hold a noon town hall Friday at a local restaurant; council members cautioned about open-meeting rules when councilors attend.
The mayor told the Beresford City Council on Monday he will circulate a one-page draft municipal artificial-intelligence (AI) policy and said the town hall he scheduled for Friday at noon is intended as a public, informal opportunity for residents to ask questions.
The mayor described the draft as a short guidance document that would clarify when AI is appropriate for city administrative tasks and when human judgment must prevail. He said the draft—9s text was generated using AI and that the city—9s policy would permit AI as an acceptable drafting tool while requiring human review and decision-making.
The mayor also announced a town hall for Friday at noon at Cover Ropes (named in the meeting). He emphasized councilors should not all attend so as to avoid creating a quorum and thereby violating the state open-meetings law; the event is intended as an outreach opportunity where residents who do not use social media or the newspaper can hear updates and ask questions.
Council members asked for the draft to be circulated to the council for review. No formal adoption took place Monday; the mayor said the draft is a starting point for council review and for future policy development.
