Senator Maroney & Representative Delany Announce Creation of AI Caucus

Today, state Senator James Maroney and state Representative Hubert Delany announced the creation of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Caucus. The goal of the AI Caucus is to champion Senate Bill 2 and establish a forward-thinking framework to regulate Artificial Intelligence in Connecticut.

The AI Caucus will strongly support Senate Bill 2, ‘An Act Concerning Artificial Intelligence’. Senate Bill 2 will work to create regulations for Artificial Intelligence in Connecticut. This bill will focus on:

1.Transparency and accountability;

2.Training Connecticut’s workforce to use artificial intelligence;

3.Criminalization of non-consensual intimate images.

The AI Caucus will advocate for policies that ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical standards in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. By fostering collaboration between lawmakers, industry leaders, and experts, the caucus aims to promote AI systems that are fair, unbiased, and aligned with public interests.

“I’m honored to work with my colleagues to make CT a leader in responsible AI innovation,” said Sen. Maroney “AI has the ability to transform the way we work and live. In order to unleash its true transformative power, we need to ensure there are reasonable guardrails to mitigate potential risks and provide training opportunities to all Connecticut residents.”

“The formation of Connecticut’s AI Caucus is a significant step in ensuring that Artificial Intelligence serves the public good,” said Rep. Delany. “I am honored to stand alongside Senator Maroney and the dedicated members of the AI Caucus in supporting Senate Bill 2 and guiding the responsible development of this technology.”
