As Congress argues over a proposed 10-year ban on state AI laws, it's essential to shift the discussion towards the constructive use of AI. A gathering of state AI leaders in New Jersey aims to explore how AI can enhance governance and democracy. Rather than focusing solely on restrictions, the conversation emphasizes building effective tools to tackle challenges such as climate change and public service efficiency. Many local governments are already seeing promising improvements by implementing AI solutions tailored to enhance critical services.
Since the Cold War, we have viewed technology as either a tool of bureaucratic control and dehumanization or an opportunity for wealth creation and profit.
So beyond black and white bans, we must expand the debate to include how we can actually improve our institutions with AI.
Local governments are using AI to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of critical services with promising results.
More than just another conference, the June 16 gathering in Princeton of these newly appointed senior AI leaders is a working meeting to produce concrete answers.
