City launches AI literacy training for staff, led by IT manager Joel Staker
Summary
Staff announced a kickoff for an AI 'ground rules' training designed to give municipal employees basic literacy and practical guidance on responsibly using AI tools; IT manager Joel Staker is leading the course and staff are exploring partnerships with local universities.
City staff announced the launch of a staff training initiative designed to give employees a basic, responsible introduction to artificial intelligence tools and how they can aid municipal tasks.
The Moderator said IT manager Joel Staker put together the first course and described it as an "AI, sort of like ground rules course, like how to use it, become familiarized with it, more of like a literacy course." Staff said they are exploring partnerships with institutions such as CUSUMB and San Jose State to provide tailored training and avoid spending on custom city-specific AI products.
The stated goals are to provide staff better tools, faster responses and new capabilities to improve service delivery while emphasizing responsible use.
