Public Feedback Session 1 for Multi-State AI Policy Working Group

During this Public Feedback Session, participants will present to state lawmakers of the Multistate Policymaker working group in regards to two pieces of legislation: 1), the “High-Risk AI” framework based on legislation drafted by CT Sen. Maroney and CO Sen. Rodriguez and 2) the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (capitol.texas....) drafted by Rep. Capriglione. In particular, lawmakers are interested in learning about specific policy concerns associated with particular provisions and language, recommended changes and revisions, and comparative analysis based upon similarities and differences between these draft bills.
Specific individuals and organizations have been specifically selected by the Chair to speak, including several members of the public who previously submitted requests to participate and were selected via lottery.
Participants will have the opportunity to speak for 5 minutes with specific recommendations and requests. Then, the lawmakers and members of the working group will be allotted 10 minutes for Q&A with each participant.
