Council discusses AI policy draft, members weigh public models versus local private models
Summary
Council reviewed a draft AI-use policy; members supported a risk-based approach, cautioned against using sensitive data with public models, and proposed adding guidance about private/offline models in future revisions.
Council discussed a draft AI-use policy in the meeting's discussion section. One council member raised a point about including guidance on private, local models and said that if the city acquired local technical capacity it might be worth specifying that option in policy language.
Another council member emphasized a risk-based approach and said the policy should explicitly prohibit AI processing of sensitive or personally identifying information, noting lower risk for public models when only general, non-sensitive prompts are used. The presiding officer said the draft policy will return for another round of review and that staff should keep private-model options under consideration as the technology and local capacity evolve.
Provenance: AI policy discussion begins around SEG 1641 and continues through SEG 1760.
