Wright, who co-led a working group under the Alabama Governor\u2019s generative AI task force in his previous role, said those goals also include helping to ensure the state uses AI efficiently, responsibly and transparently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first year will be focused on building a strong, collaborative foundation for AI across state government,\u201d Wright wrote in an email interview. \u201cThat includes expanding workforce\u00a0 education opportunities and advancing a statewide AI learning platform, continuing\u00a0to enable the use of vetted and approved AI tools, and working closely with agencies to identify and scale high-value use cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These priorities were also tasks assigned to the state\u2019s generative AI task force, which was created by Gov. Kay Ivey via executive order in 2024. The group was tasked with submitting to the governor a report on responsible AI use. It included recommendations that informed the creation of the state\u2019s two guiding policy documents for AI: the Alabama generative AI acceptable use policy and the artificial intelligence governance policy. Wright said they \u201cemphasize secure, approved tools, responsible data handling, and clear boundaries around appropriate use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright also co-led the task force\u2019s\u00a0data management and ownership working group, which developed recommendations for the data-handling portions of the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/ai-guardrails-should-be-dynamic-evolving-says-alabamas-ai-chief\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI guardrails should be dynamic, evolving, says Alabama&#8217;s AI chief https:\/\/statescoop.com\/ai-guardrails-should-be-dynamic-evolving-says-alabamas-ai-chief\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-11 18:36:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2265929660.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20,19],"class_list":["post-243979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":243981,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243979\/revisions\/243981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
