PENNSYLVANIA (WHP) \u2014 A new report from the Pennsylvania legislature has laid out a roadmap for implementing and regulating artificial intelligence (AI) in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
The 389-page report<\/a>, titled “Artificial Intelligence: Advisory Committee Recommendations on the Adoption and Use of AI in Pennsylvania,\u201d assessed AI’s rapidly expanding role across numerous sectors of society.<\/p>\n Some sectors mentioned included healthcare, education, government, and law enforcement. However, the report also addressed emerging concerns, such as chatbots and child protection.<\/p>\n Cary Coglianese<\/a>, the founder and director of the Penn Program on Regulation, was among 20 advisors appointed to a committee in response to a 2023 House resolution, which examined how AI might impact Pennsylvania and how other states are responding to the growing technology.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a privilege to serve on the statewide advisory committee for this project,\u201d said Coglianese. \u201cFew policy issues today are as challenging and important as those related to AI governance.\u201d<\/p>\n Coglianese is an expert on regulatory governance and algorithm-driven decision-making. <\/p>\n The report also emphasized how AI use in schools needed to be backed by evidence of educational benefit and equitable access while supporting student-teacher relations.<\/p>\n The advisory committee examined AI use in the practice of law, including improving AI literacy among law students and weighing potential risks and benefits of AI use in legal practice.<\/p>\n \u201cThe report\u2019s emphasis on care and vigilance with respect to the use of AI offers valuable lessons for legislators and practicing lawyers alike,\u201d said Coglianese.<\/p>\n
