Lexington, Ky., Implements Specific AI Use Policy for City Employees
The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government has introduced a detailed policy regulating the use of artificial intelligence by city employees. The policy, outlined by Chief Information Officer Liz Rodgers, addresses not only cybersecurity and data privacy but also potential reputational harm and bias inherent in AI models. Employees are permitted to use AI for tasks like document writing and research, but sensitive information cannot be input into AI tools. All AI-generated content must be reviewed by a human for accuracy, and decision-making cannot be outsourced to AI. The policy also restricts employees to using Microsoft Copilot, citing its robust data privacy features.
