The Washington State Artificial Intelligence (AI) Task Force released its interim report on Monday, which delivers eight key policy recommendations to the governor and the legislature aimed at balancing the immense potential of AI with the critical need to protect the rights, privacy, and economic well-being of Washingtonians. The AI task force was established by the Legislature and is administered by the Attorney General’s Office.
"AI has the potential to create enormous benefits for our state, but unregulated deployment of this technology can entrench discrimination, erode personal privacy, and displace workers,” said Attorney General Nick Brown. “This report provides sensible policy recommendations for the legislature and the governor that strive to balance innovation and economic growth with the protection of individual rights, particularly the rights of historically marginalized or disadvantaged groups."
