Washington state to develop guidelines for agencies using generative AI
SEATTLE — The governor of Washington on Tuesday called for the state to develop best practices on how agencies should use generative artificial intelligence as it continues to incorporate the technology into government operations. States across the U.S. have taken similar steps within the last two years, often opting to focus on how their own state governments handle the technology before setting private sector restrictions. Inslee wants to see an AI training plan developed for government workers that outline how the technology could help state operations as well as its risks to residents and cybersecurity. “Our goal is to help the state continue using generative AI in ways that help the public while putting up guardrails around uses that present a lot of risk,” said Katy Ruckle, the state’s chief privacy officer.
