Bipartisan Assembly Panel Will Examine Impact of AI

Monday, August 28th, 2023 -- 12:00 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) A new bipartisan Assembly task force will explore the impact of AI in Wisconsin.

Neenah Republican, Representative Nate Gustafson, will co-chair the panel. He admits, some of us are apprehensive about AI. “I think it starts with the foundation that a lot of people are getting their misconceptions of what AI can do, kind of based off of the Terminator, I'll put it out there very bluntly like that.”

And of course, AI is already in common use. “The press release that I put out, speaking of me becoming the chair of the task force was actually generated using chatgpt.”

Gustafson also said, “We're going into the unknown, we're really going into the fog of this. So we're going to really find out who the big players are, obviously, not only in our state, but in our country, as we kind of expand and really call on the folks who have the most expertise on this topic.”

The AI task force is one of several announced by Speaker Vos, and Governor Tony Evers has also announced formation of an AI task force.
