Committee holds AI task force resolution to coordinate with executive order
Summary

The committee held CR‑61‑2024, a resolution to establish a 14‑member Artificial Intelligence Task Force, after the County Executive's office said an executive order issued April 19 already directed the Office of Information Technology to create a similar task force.
Council staff summarized the resolution's intent: the task force would explore AI use cases to improve competitiveness, workforce preparedness, service delivery and public trust. County administration representative Ms. Skinner said the executive order is "very expansive" and warned of overlap; she recommended coordinating the legislative and executive efforts.
Duane Prophet of the Office of Information Technology briefed the committee on steps already taken, including a May AI summit, a draft 11‑page administrative procedure for AI governance, internal employee training plans, and vendor questionnaire items about AI model training and data storage. Committee members voted to hold the resolution so staff can reconcile the two efforts and return with a coordinated approach.
