Commission forwards citywide generative-AI policy for approval after IT briefing
Summary
The commission's public safety committee reviewed proposed additions to city IT policies on generative AI (limits on decision-making, PII restrictions, staff review and transparency rules) and voted to forward the policy for approval.
City IT staff presented proposed additions to the citywide information technology policies to address generative artificial intelligence.
An IT representative explained the draft would limit AI to creating or transforming business content rather than for independent automated decision-making; prohibit use of personally identifiable information in cloud-based AI tools; require staff review and validation of AI-produced outputs; and require acknowledgement when AI was used in creating documents or presentations. The policy also seeks to address security risks such as automated note-taking apps and potential data exfiltration.
Commissioners asked how the city would detect AI use; IT staff said network monitoring can show web-based AI tool access and staff review is required to validate AI-generated content. The committee moved to approve the additions and forward them to the commission; the motion carried with one commissioner absent.
