Pflugerville council unanimously approves 'SAFE' Technology AI oversight policy
Pflugerville city council members voted unanimously on Tuesday to adopt an artificial intelligence oversight policy.
What's the AI use policy for city of Austin employees, vendors, volunteers?
The policy requires a human to check generative AI outputs, which the city calls "Human in the Loop." It also requires a disclosure notice about what was generated and what tool was used.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
