Wes Moore on Monday announced a starting point for addressing the use of artificial intelligence in state government, as well as efforts to bolster cybersecurity.
The governor signed an executive order that he described as setting fundamental principles and values “to ensure that we integrate AI into the work of state government in a responsible and ethical way.”
“These announcements mark the beginning of our work, not the end, and we look forward to partnering with the General Assembly to move forward on legislation centered on AI,” Moore, a Democrat, said at a news conference, two days before the legislature gathers for its annual 90-day session.
The quickly developing technology has been getting the attention of state lawmakers around the country.
Moore said the words AI and cyber can scare some people.
