Matt Petras & PublicSource , Technical.ly; Allegheny County blocks generative AI on its computers as it shapes up its approach to the tech
"Both Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh have taken action to regulate their use of AI technology.
For the county, it’s a work in progress starting with a pause on ChatGPT and similar programs; for the city, it involves creating internal guidelines informed both by Pitt Cyber’s research and a national coalition of municipal governments.
Some cities across the country have made their guidelines public. Many of these guidelines focus solely on generative AI technologies.
Ethical discussion of AI shouldn’t ignore the risks posed by algorithms as the public focus shifts toward generative tools, said Beth Schwanke, executive director of the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Cyber Law, Policy and Security."
