Summary: The bill authorizes $1.055 billion in funding for Massachusetts' information technology and cybersecurity investments, enhancing public services and infrastructure through technology improvements until 2030.
Collection: Legislation
Status date: June 6, 2024
Status: Introduced
Last action: See H4648 (June 6, 2024)
Societal Impact (see reasoning)
The text primarily revolves around funding for various information technology projects in Massachusetts, with specific sections addressing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems' implementation. The AI-related portions deal with state agencies' interactions with AI systems for enhancing public services, which falls squarely under aspects related to the Social Impact category. It is about leveraging AI to improve efficiency in public services and interactions with residents. However, there is limited specific discourse on issues such as ethical frameworks or biases regarding AI applications, which slightly reduces its relevance to the Social Impact category. The Data Governance category relates to the management and security of data; though the text includes data-security improvements, it does not explicitly focus on aspects like data biases or intellectual property concerns. The System Integrity category concerns the security and transparency of AI systems, and while the text mentions security improvements, it is not specifically focused on AI/non-AI settings. The Robustness category is less relevant since the text doesn’t address benchmarking, auditing, or standards specific to AI systems. Hence, averaging the scores leads to a final score of 4 for Social Impact due to the emphasis on AI's role enhancing public service and citizen engagement. Data Governance receives a score of 2 due to the mention of data-security improvements but lacks depth on governance-related aspects. System Integrity scores a 2 as well, focusing on technology but lacking dedicated mandates for AI process oversight. Robustness is assigned a 1 as no AI performance benchmarks or certifications are mentioned.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services (see reasoning)
The legislation addresses the use of AI in public service delivery, which is particularly relevant to the Government Agencies and Public Services sector. The allocation of funds for the implementation of AI by state agencies indicates a direct connection with enhancing government functions and services. Healthcare is touched upon concerning health and human services, but specifics on AI in healthcare applications are lacking. Other sectors, such as Politics and Elections or the Judicial System, are not addressed or referenced, leading to them being irrelevant for this document. The emphasis on improving services via technology bridges primarily to Government Agencies and Public Services, scoring a 5. Other sectors, including Healthcare, receive a 2 due to indirect mention without explicit connections. The remaining sectors score 1 as they're not pertinent to the text.

System Integrity
Data Robustness (see reasoning)
The bill focuses primarily on improving the classification and declassification of national security information. The mention of using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies (Section 7) indicates a direct interaction with technologies relevant to AI. However, the overall goal of the bill is more about enhancing efficiency in classification processes rather than addressing impactful socio-economic issues directly tied to AI, or data management and protection concerns. Hence, while the AI technology aspect is significant, it doesn't directly engage with broader social impacts, data governance, integrity of AI systems, or robustness as defined in the categories.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services (see reasoning)
The legislation discusses the application of AI and machine learning specifically in the public sector for classification and declassification processes, indicating its relevance to government operations. The mention of AI technologies and the context of national security point to a strong association with Government Agencies and Public Services, as these technologies are being leveraged to improve governmental functions. However, the bill does not provide a detailed exploration of AI's implications in political campaigns, healthcare, judicial processes, or broader AI impacts on society or the workplace. This context frames the legislation primarily within the Government Agencies and Public Services sector.

The text primarily discusses amendments to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in Illinois, specifically regarding the exemption of proposals or bids submitted by engineering consultants from disclosure. There are no explicit references to AI technologies or their impact on society, data governance, system integrity, or benchmarks for performance. As a result, the text does not align strongly with the defined categories on legislation specifically addressing these issues.
Sector: None (see reasoning)
The text does not focus on any of the nine specified sectors including politics, public services, or healthcare. It is centered around administrative procedures related to FOIA and does not delve into the use or regulation of AI within any sector. Therefore, relevance to the sectors is also minimal.

Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)
The text pertains to the inclusion of provenance data for synthetic content produced by generative artificial intelligence systems. This closely aligns with 'Social Impact' as it addresses the potential for misinformation through deepfakes, necessitating accountability and consumer protection measures. Regarding 'Data Governance', the provenance requirements also highlight the need for accurate data management as it affects content authenticity and accountability. 'System Integrity' is relevant since the legislation mandates transparency measures around the use of AI systems in content generation, emphasizing human oversight in verifying the provenance of synthetic content. However, it does not specifically address the integrity of the systems themselves or security measures against AI misuse. Finally, while 'Robustness' could be relevant if the legislation included benchmarks for AI performance, it primarily focuses on data provenance and usage rather than performance standards or compliance audits. Therefore, 'Social Impact' and 'Data Governance' resonate very strongly with the text, while 'System Integrity' is less so. 'Robustness' appears to be irrelevant.
Sector:
Politics and Elections
Government Agencies and Public Services (see reasoning)
The text particularly highlights how generative artificial intelligence is being regulated in terms of content provenance, which is crucial for sectors like 'Politics and Elections' due to the implications for misinformation. However, it primarily impacts the 'Government Agencies and Public Services' sector as it mandates that state agencies apply provenance data to digital content published or distributed. The focus on misinformation makes it tangentially relevant to 'Judicial System' since the accuracy of evidence can be affected by AI-generated content, but this is not the main focus of the document. The healthcare, private enterprises, academic institutions, and nonprofit sectors don't seem directly focused on, given the context of synthetic media regulation. There is little mention of international cooperation unless licenses or standards are considered across state lines in the future. Thus, 'Government Agencies and Public Services' is the primary relevant sector, with slight relevance to 'Politics and Elections' and 'Judicial System'.

The text establishes a program for investments in artificial intelligence (AI) within New Jersey, focusing on innovation, job creation, and economic opportunities. It emphasizes the importance of AI industries and related activities like machine learning and the development of AI applications. The relevance of AI to the text is direct and substantial, as it forms the core purpose of the legislation. Hence, the categories are assessed based on their connection to this core focus on AI policy and investments.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment
Academic and Research Institutions
Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified (see reasoning)
The legislation primarily impacts the sector of Government Agencies and Public Services due to its establishment by a state authority to manage and oversee the program. However, it also relates to Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment, as it addresses job creation and economic impact within the AI industry. The text's detailing of AI-related activities also gives it relevance to Academic and Research Institutions, particularly in collaboration with universities for tech startups and research. The direct involvement of AI in various sectors like healthcare and the judicial system is not explicit in this text, leading to lower scores in those sectors.
