- Status
- In effect
- Took effect

- Enforced by

This law sets rules for how Connecticut's own state government uses artificial intelligence. It directs the Department of Administrative Services to inventory the AI systems state agencies use and, from February 2024, to assess them for unlawful discrimination and disparate impact; the Judicial Department must do the same for its own systems. The Office of Policy and Management had to write policies for how agencies buy, use and assess AI, and agencies must run an impact assessment before deploying a new AI system. It also created a legislative working group to study AI, including whether Connecticut should adopt an AI bill of rights. The law governs public-sector use rather than imposing penalties on private companies.
Who is protected: The public affected by Connecticut state-agency decisions made or aided by AI systems.
