'Trust in technology': Utah creates Office of Artificial Intelligence to safely, smartly navigate AI rise


The Utah Department of Commerce officially launched its Office of Artificial Intelligence that will consult with businesses on potential regulatory proposals related to AI.

The office, created during the 2024 legislative session through the passing of SB149 and led by Brigham Young University faculty member Zachary Boyd, will consult with businesses, academic institutions and other stakeholders to facilitate dialogue on potential regulatory proposals related to AI. "The two main functions of this new office are to offer regulatory relief where we can to help innovation and to study policy areas and make recommendations to the Legislature through a learning lab approach," Busse said. The learning lab, Boyd explained, will see the office picking key issues around AI that merit "sustained scrutiny" by the state and bring together academics, business leaders and advocates for the public to brainstorm and come up with policy proposals.
