Commission recaps AI summit and discusses draft AI values statement for grants
Summary
Commissioners said a recent AI summit provided practical guidance for grant review and staff presented a draft AI value statement; staff suggested applicants disclose AI use in applications or reports and commissioners discussed how to implement guidance in scoring and reporting.
Commissioners and staff summarized a recent AI summit that staff framed as an exploratory, practical session for arts organizations and grant reviewers. Panelists walked participants through scenarios and prompt design and discussed how AI might affect grant writing and evaluation.
Commissioners approved moving a draft AI values statement forward for additional edits. Staff said the statement is intended to guide grant review and applicant resources rather than impose a ban. "We're not saying people can't use it," a staff member said, "and we're not saying people can't use it, and we're going to run through the check for anything." Commissioners discussed asking applicants to disclose whether AI tools were used to produce application materials or creative works funded by grants.
Why it matters: commissioners said clarity will help reviewers evaluate applications consistently and protect artists' rights; staff will return with language and guidance for inclusion in next year's grant materials.
