A Utah lawmaker, Senator Stephanie Pitcher, has proposed legislation requiring police departments across the state to disclose when and how they use artificial intelligence. The bill, designated SB180, passed the Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice Committee unanimously on Monday evening. The measure now advances to the full Senate for consideration before it goes to the House. Under the proposal, all Utah law enforcement agencies would be required to create a policy detailing the artificial intelligence technologies they employ and the permitted circumstances for their use. Officers would also have to disclose in police reports whether artificial intelligence was utilised to create them and include a certificate confirming the author reviewed the document for accuracy.
