Local Government AI policies

Sonoma County has adopted an AI policy that would allow AI use by the local government if the AI is on an approved list, and can only be used for tasks including writing emails, reports, policies and job descriptions, completing spreadsheet calculations and data analysis and developing or debugging code.  Santa Cruz, San Benito, and San Francisco counties have also local approved AI policies. This begs the question about statewide policies and the role of the California State Association of Counties and National Association of Counties.
