- Took effect
- April 1, 2024
- Applies to
- City of San Antonio departments and contractors using AI
- Enforced by
- San Antonio ITSD; Office of Innovation
San Antonio Information Technology Services Department governs generative AI through two instruments: a January 2024 CIO Position Statement providing an AI risk framework and playbook for all city employees, and a May 2024 Attachment A to Administrative Directive 7.4a titled 'Acceptable Use of Generative AI Tools' covering responsible use of third-party GenAI tools. AI technologies are tested and validated before procurement via AI FactSheet, Risk Assessment, and Findings Report. The 'SmartSA' branding in the original entry is inaccurate — these are ITSD administrative instruments, not SmartSA program documents.
Who is protected: San Antonio residents
