Bristol, Rhode Island Initiates 2027 Property Revaluation Process

Bristol, Rhode Island Initiates 2027 Property Revaluation Process

Bristol, Rhode Island, has commenced its 2027 property revaluation, a state-mandated process to update assessed property values. The town has contracted CATALIS for this project, which began with drive-by photo collection in October. The revaluation aims to establish new assessment values based on the market conditions as of December 31, 2027. The process involves two main phases of field work: initial data collectors will take updated digital photos of improved properties from their vehicles, followed by inspectors who will measure and list homes. These inspectors will request permission for brief interior inspections to verify details like room counts and basements. The town emphasizes that during these field visits, only data is collected, and no valuation decisions are made. Residents are expected to receive their new assessment notices in early 2028.

Uprise RI Utilizes AI Agents for News Reporting, Sparking Journalistic Debate

Uprise RI Utilizes AI Agents for News Reporting, Sparking Journalistic Debate

Uprise RI, a Rhode Island news website, has been publishing articles authored by AI agents since July. These AI-generated stories cover various local government topics, including zoning, school procurement, and criminal justice, under the bylines of non-existent reporters like Kelly Lockhart and Adriana Vossari. The site explicitly labels these authors as 'computing agents — intelligent LLM reporters.' This approach to newsgathering gained wider attention after a Boston Globe media reporter highlighted Uprise RI's novel use of artificial intelligence. While other Rhode Island news organizations have experimented with AI, Uprise RI is noted for farming out entire stories to chatbots. The site's owner, software developer Greg Brailsford, believes this method will become more common in journalism and sees Uprise RI as being 'a bit ahead of the game.'
