The County plans to study if and how artificial intelligence (AI) can be safely used to improve the County’s IT systems, the lives of County residents, and the overall public good.

And we want to know what you think. Examples of IA technology include ChatGPT, tools created by Google and Microsoft, and more.

The County has created an ad-hoc subcommittee that includes Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas and Supervisor Joel Anderson.

The group will meet publicly to hear, collect, and review information about artificial intelligence and how it may be used at three meetings, beginning Wednesday, Oct.16, 2024.

The group is expected to present findings and make appropriate recommendations for future actions to the full Board of Supervisors in February 2025.

Your input is vital. Your questions and comments will be provided to the Board for their consideration.

Background:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables machines to do tasks resembling what humans would do. It does this through things such as repetitive learning and data. AI has been used in computer-based automation for years, such as virtual assistants like Alexa, or email or text systems that use predictive logic to suggest appropriate responses.

That technology has and continues to advance rapidly. ChatGPT has become the most downloaded application in history. To responsibly keep up with advancing technology and the use of AI by public agencies, the County has joined the GovAI Coalition, a collection of more than 300 government agencies united to promote the responsible and purposeful use of AI.

The County’s subcommittee will review AI and its impact on the County, with particular emphasis on safely using it to advance the County’s initiatives, including diversity, equity, and inclusion.

How to participate:

Information on engagement opportunities will be posted to this page, as it is available.
