ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTRODUCTION - 4986

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the development of algorithms and systems that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. It encompasses a broad range of applications and processing, from machine learning, deep learning, automated decision making, generative AI, and natural language processing. As technology advances, AI continues to play a transformative role in shaping how we interact with computers and machines, paving the way for innovative solutions across various industries.

The State’s AI policy is intended to create practices that benefit state departments including operational efficiencies, reliability, cost savings, innovation, and sustainability.  

The State Administration Manual (SAM) Section 4986 will be used to provide state entities with standards and policies related to the planning, implementation, and use of AI tools and technologies.

Definitions can be found under SAM 4819.2.
