The state of Arizona published its policy on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in March, but as the technology and the state’s applications of it have evolved, the state’s policy has changed, too.
There are three major changes to the GenAI policy. The first entails updates on the State Data and Analytics Office’s role; this office was established in May to advance data work in support of GenAI. The second is added emphasis on the importance of data governance policies. The third is the addition of details on both agency and employee responsibilities related to GenAI applications, including responsible use, data protection, transparency, accountability, security and privacy.
