- Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government has established regulations for its employees’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) as per the Lexington Herald-Leader.
- Employees are allowed to use AI for tasks such as writing documents, research, and summarizing materials.
- All AI tools and products must be reviewed by a human employee, and AI cannot be used to make decisions.
- Sensitive information, such as addresses and health information, should not be entered into any AI tool.
- The only AI tool permissible for city employees is Microsoft Copilot, which comes with “more robust” privacy and security protections.
- Employees can request an exception to the AI policy, with the approval process managed by Lexington’s chief information officer, Liz Rodgers.
