Law Enforcement Usage of Artificial Intelligence
SB 180 requires Utah law enforcement agencies to create policies governing the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by officers. It mandates that any police report or record partially or fully generated by AI must include a clear disclaimer and a certification from the author confirming they reviewed it for accuracy. The bill defines key terms like "generative AI" and specifies that policies must outline permitted uses, training for staff, and consequences for policy violations. These requirements aim to increase transparency and accountability when AI tools are used in official law enforcement documentation.
