The California Legislature has adopted an artificial intelligence-drafted resolution expressing the state’s pledge to examine and implement regulations on AI use.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 17 (SCR 17), introduced in January by state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, in January, was unanimously approved Monday in the California State Assembly. This is the first AI-drafted resolution in the U.S., Dodd’s office said.
SCR 17 is a “significant step toward ensuring California is at the forefront of responsible AI deployment and use,” Dodd said in a statement. “The principles outlined here will help protect the rights of the public while leveraging the benefits of AI. I appreciate the bipartisan support of my colleagues.”
The resolution highlights challenges posed by AI-driven technology and systems, such as unauthorized data collection and sharing, according to the senator’s office.
“At the same time, the resolution recognizes the potential benefits of AI, including increased efficiency in agriculture and data analysis that could revolutionize industries,” Dodd’s office noted.
