OTI provides feedback on Introduction 926, which proposes to require OTI to promulgate rules for appropriate and responsible use practices for AI tools used by city agencies. The testimony expresses reservations about this approach.

  • Argues that promulgating rules may not be necessary given the governance structure planned through the AI Action Plan
  • Emphasizes the need for flexibility in the face of rapidly evolving AI technologies
  • Warns that rules could become quickly outdated and hamper the ability to update guidance in an agile manner

With the governance structure we plan to implement through the AI action plan.

It is important to remain flexible as new tools become available and are considered.

Rules that may become outdated very quickly could have unintended outcome and spend time amending rule spending and time spent amending rules for this process would hamper our ability to update guidance in an agile manner.
