Joining the Newly Formed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Caucus
I am excited to share that I am now serving as a member on the newly-formed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Caucus.
Our goal is to ensure that AI serves the public good and does not become a tool for harm. The AI Caucus will work with our advocates to facilitate innovation and prevent discrimination in AI. We believe that these systems should operate with transparency and accountability.
This caucus was formed at a critical time. AI technology is here and is already playing a role in high risk decision making. Connecticut has the opportunity to lead in establishing fair, strong, and commonsense AI regulations. I am honored to work alongside dedicated colleagues, who all want to work towards a future with fair and ethical AI systems.
Last week, the AI Caucus held a press conference to outline our legislative priorities for the ongoing 2025 session. We are urging for the passage of Senate Bill 2, An Act Concerning Artificial Intelligence. Senate Bill 2 calls for:
- Transparency and accountability;
- Training Connecticut's workforce to use artificial intelligence;
- Criminalization of non-consensual intimate images.
I am excited to get to work with our caucus and discuss the best ways to protect our residents from the potential harms of AI with my colleagues. Senate Bill 2 will establish groundbreaking AI regulations and pave the way for ethical AI development and education. Let's get to work!
