Washington: AG announces inaugural meeting of AI Task Force
On July 24, 2024, the Office of the Attorney General (AG) announced that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Task Force would convene on July 26, 2024, and that the public is invited to participate.
The AG stated that the AI Task Force will convene technology experts, civil liberty groups, and other stakeholders, and consider several topics, including:
- intellectual property and personhood protections, including replicas of voice or likeness;
- high-risk uses of AI that could negatively affect safety or fundamental rights, and appropriate human oversight and accountability;
- systemic racial disparities perpetuated in AI systems;
- protecting workers across industries from harm and bias by AI systems;
- opportunities to support innovation; and
- improving transparency and public education about AI, data privacy, and security.
The AG outlined that the AI Task Force will meet at least twice a year, will include numerous subcommittees, and the public is invited to participate.
Lastly, the AG highlighted that the AI Task Force will issue findings and guiding principles, and submit a final report with policy recommendations to the Governor of Washington and the legislature by July 1, 2026.
