Medina adopts AI guidelines policy for city employees, council cautions staff to apply human judgment
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 172‑25 establishing an artificial intelligence guidelines policy for city employees. Discussion emphasized that AI outputs should not be treated as final authority and that staff must apply human judgment to detect bias and errors.
The Medina City Council adopted an ordinance establishing artificial intelligence guidelines for city employees.
Councilmember Rose spoke during discussion to emphasize the limits of machine outputs, recounting a decades‑old example of a rules‑based system that produced biased scheduling results and warning that staff must apply “real intelligence” to AI outputs. The ordinance requires employees and others using AI tools to treat the outputs as advisory and to apply human review and standard professional judgment before acting on AI‑generated content.
Council voted 6‑0 to adopt Ordinance 172‑25.
