Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an last month to create a AI governing board for Pennsylvania that will guide the commonwealth鈥檚 use of generative artificial intelligence, including developing training programs for state employees.

鈥淲e don鈥檛 want to let AI happen to us,鈥 Shapiro said. 鈥淲e want to be part of helping develop AI for the betterment of our citizens.鈥

The Sept. 20 order establishes a set of 鈥渃ore values鈥 including privacy, safety, fairness, accuracy, and employee empowerment. It will be made up of 鈥渟enior administration officials and experts in the field,鈥 and begin meeting next week, the governor said.

Shapiro signed the order at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, which will work with the AI governing board to guide the state鈥檚 use of the technology.

鈥淎rtificial intelligence is rapidly transforming nearly every sector of our economy,鈥 CMU President Farnam Jahanian said at the event. 鈥淚鈥檓 grateful to have a leader in Harrisburg that recognizes the potential and the urgency of this moment.鈥

Shapiro and other state officials at the announcement stressed that the state鈥檚 use of AI won鈥檛 replace human workers.

鈥淚f we take the course that other states and countries have taken to completely ban AI for government purposes. we鈥檙e going to seriously lose out on the opportunity presented to us to improve government services for Pennsylvanians,鈥 Shapiro said. 鈥淎t the same time, know that AI will never replace the ingenuity, the creativity, and the lived experience of our outstanding workforce in the commonwealth. A tool, no matter how sophisticated, accomplishes nothing without a hand to wield it.鈥

As part of the executive order, the Shapiro administration will create a two-year fellowship program for post-bachelor, masters鈥 and doctoral candidates who will work on AI issues with state agencies.

Shapiro said Pennsylvania public safety agencies are working with AI experts to address the threats AI poses, and his administration is 鈥渢aking a multi-agency approach鈥 in protecting Pennsylvania consumers from potential AI security threats, such as fraud.

鈥淭his executive order is the product of months of careful consideration and planning around AI with a belief that we need to embrace AI, not fear it, but we need to deploy it responsibly,鈥 he said.
