ZBA approves edited minutes and flags AI-draft review need
Summary
Board members approved prior meeting minutes as amended, noted some passages were generated by new AI drafting tools, and reiterated that AI drafts require human review and correction before finalizing minutes and public documents.
Board members moved to approve the ZBA minutes of 05/12/2026 as amended after several line-by-line edits. Members identified spacing, number‑formatting, capitalization, and spelling fixes; one board member observed that the town's new AI-generated permit/minutes drafts required manual corrections and that staff should continue to proofread AI output before publication.
"Even with the AI writing of minutes, you still had to go through them," a board member said while reviewing edits. The board recorded the motion to approve the minutes (as amended) and agreed to continue checking AI-generated drafts carefully before final publication.
