City staff present draft AI policy emphasizing employee responsibility and training
Summary
Staff circulated a draft artificial-intelligence policy that would require employee training, IT oversight of acquisitions and place responsibility for final work products with staff, while acknowledging AI biases and the need for iterative updates.
City staff presented a draft AI policy intended to govern municipal employees' use of generative and other AI tools. Staff emphasized training requirements and wrote into the draft that employees remain responsible for the accuracy and final form of any work product produced with AI assistance. The policy would require IT oversight of AI acquisitions and create disciplinary consequences for violations of the policy.
Staff noted this is an initial policy and anticipated future iterations as the technology and best practices evolve. Council members welcomed the approach and urged sensitivity to privacy, bias and civil-liberties issues in police and analytics uses.
