Council holds AI task force resolution to coordinate with existing executive task force
Summary
CR 61-2024, which would create a 14-member Artificial Intelligence Task Force focused on workforce, services and trust, was held so council and the county executive can align legislative and executive task forces and confirm council representation.
CR 61-2024 proposes a 14-member Prince George's County Artificial Intelligence Task Force to prepare the workforce, improve service delivery and build public trust in the AI era. Staff noted the administration has already established an executive-order AI task force, and county liaison Ms. Skinner asked the committee to coordinate so the executive and council efforts are aligned.
Multiple business and community witnesses testified in support, urging equity, workforce development, and education. Bernard Wright, CEO of Provista AI, argued the county should "harness AI... to create pathways for equitable participation across the board," and community speakers urged including public members and clearer distinctions between the executive-level task force, the council’s informal task force and technical staff. The committee voted to hold CR 61 for further study so the council representative and composition can be coordinated with the executive branch and stakeholders.
