In early 2024, the Centralina regional AI working group, featuring municipal representatives from our nine-county region, pooled together expertise and research to craft the Generative AI Policy Guidance Document for Local Governments. This detailed guide provides a structured framework, practical insights and policy template language to help municipalities effectively manage and implement generative AI technologies.
