RethinkAI's new report on the state of civic AI was covered by Government Technology.
A report released Wednesday explores concrete AI use cases in cities across the U.S., offering an alternative framework for AI adoption in the public sector.
The document, “Making AI Work for the Public: An ALT Perspective,” was developed by New America’s RethinkAI coalition, which works with cities to build AI pilots and transforms findings into guidance and policy recommendations.
Various frameworks have been created, by the federal government and others, to support responsible AI advancement, focused on areas including human-centered AI, civil rights, risk management and security.
