State Affairs (Senate)
Artificial intelligence council
STATE AFFAIRS – Adds to existing law to establish the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council.

RS31173 / H0568

This legislation establishes an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Council. The council includes six members: one House member, one Senate member, and then four AI experts/professionals. The Office of Information Technology Services will serve as a technical advisor to the council. Council members will be responsible for reviewing existing applications of AI in state government and identifying potential state-level AI policies for consideration by the legislature and the governor.

Based on expenditures for prior interim committees, this council is estimated to require $10,000 from the general fund for each full year of operation. With the sunset date of January 1, 2027, the total appropriation over the lifespan of the council is estimated at $25,000 from the general fund.
