Secretary Urquhart commended the collaborative effort that went into the report, emphasizing its aim to educate and provide strategic recommendations for the ethical implementation of GenAI in Alabama. The report is now available for public review, showcasing the state’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge technologies in a responsible manner.
Governor Ivey expressed confidence in Alabama’s position as an industry leader in the ethical use of artificial intelligence, highlighting the state’s growth and innovation in various sectors. The release of the GenAI Task Force Final Report marks a significant milestone in Alabama’s journey towards leveraging emerging technologies for the benefit of its citizens.
