Should states treat AI incidents like aviation accidents, and investigate?

The Aspen Policy Academy, a nonpartisan policy training program, has introduced a new policy framework urging state officials to create formal systems to investigate artificial intelligence (AI) tool failures or harms.
The framework, designed specifically for Utah’s Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy, suggests ways to improve the agency’s response to incidents like biased decision-making or unsafe recommendations produced by AI tools.
The framework aims to foster public trust by establishing structured investigative processes and learning from incidents, modeled after safety practices in aviation and healthcare.
The recommendations build on Utah’s goal to be a leader in AI governance, focusing on transparency, accountability, and public trust.
The framework calls for companies in Utah’s AI regulatory sandbox to commit to publicly sharing investigation findings to demonstrate responsibility and continuous product improvement.
