This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law establishes within the Government Operations Agency the Department of Technology under the supervision of the Director of Technology, who also serves as the State Chief Information Officer. The department is generally responsible for the approval and oversight of information technology projects by, among other things, consulting with state agencies during initial project planning to ensure that project proposals are based on well-defined programmatic needs. This bill would require the Artificial Intelligence in State Government Services Commission, which would be established if AB 976 of the 2018–19 Regular Session is enacted, to report to the Legislature on the commission's recommended minimum standards for the use of artificial intelligence that includes specified information, including fostering accountability in state government services and prioritizing the safety and security of artificial intelligence technologies used by state government. The bill would make its operation contingent on the enactment of AB 976 of the 2018–19 Regular Session on or before January 1, 2020, and establishes the artificial intelligence commission described above.
