An audit by NY State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli emphasizes the inadequate centralized guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage across state agencies. The assessment of four agencies highlighted risks stemming from unrestricted agency discretion over AI practices, as well as conflicting guidance on confidentiality and a lack of staff training. Seven recommendations were made, including strengthening the AI policy and enhancing training and governance, with most agencies agreeing, though the DMV disputed some findings yet acknowledged the necessity to ensure compliance with state policy.
The audit highlights the need for a centralized AI policy to prevent misuse, citing that current guidance allows agencies too much discretion, risking irresponsible practices.
Inadequacies in the oversight of AI technology usage by state agencies were identified, raising concerns about compliance and the responsible application of AI.
