The board shall recommend to the OA employee-centered
guidance and direction on the design, development, procurement and deployment
of generative AI in an agency, including policies on the utilization of
generative AI; a mechanism that provides for internal and external feedback on
policies to the extent that disclosure of these policies would not jeopardize
the security of any individual or entity or Commonwealth personnel,
infrastructure, systems or data; the receipt of updates and training from
subject matter experts on the evolving field of generative AI technology; and
the establishment of the values set forth in §
7.993 (relating to core values
governing the use of generative AI technology in this Commonwealth).
Specifically, the board shall have the responsibility to:
(1) Make recommendations regarding an
agency-s request to utilize generative AI technology, based upon a review
process that evaluates the technology-s bias and security, and whether the
agency-s requested use of generative AI adheres to the values set forward in
§
7.993.
(2) Develop and recommend processes and
procedures by which an agency should apply the values expressed in §
7.993 to the process of procuring
and implementing generative AI tools.
(3) Encourage an agency to utilize generative
AI when it improves service delivery and service administration and lead the
process to identify the most efficient use cases for the implementation of
generative AI.
(4) Collaborate with
the Department of General Services and the OA to develop generative AI
government procurement recommendations that outline problems and opportunities
rather than prescriptive solutions; balance the public benefits of using
generative AI against potential risks; assess the accessibility, limitations
and potential historical bias of available sources to be used by generative AI;
and ensure the procurement process maintains a level playing field for
generative AI offerors.
(i) Provide
recommendations on an agency-s requested use of generative AI
technology.
(ii) Engage experts in
generative AI from the private sector and leading education institutions to
advise, as needed, on short and long-term research goals, industry trends and
ecosystem-wide best practices.
(iii) Provide labor and workforce
organizations in this Commonwealth and other external stakeholders the
opportunity to receive feedback or submit input to the board regarding
generative AI and its use.
