Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced Wednesday that Michael Boyce, a former federal technologist who oversaw the adoption of artificial intelligence at key agencies, will join the state as its new senior advisor for responsible AI.<\/p>\n

In the role, Boyce will serve as an advisor to Moore and Katie Savage, the state\u2019s chief information officer and secretary of the Department of Information Technology. He will also advise the state\u2019s AI Subcabinet and work closely with leaders across state government, the legislature, academia, civil society and the private sector to help deliver on the governor\u2019s goals of using AI to drive economic development, empower the Maryland workforce and enhance the state\u2019s services.<\/p>\n

Boyce comes to Maryland from the U.S. Digital Response, where he has served as an AI lead and generative AI technologist-in-residence\u00a0since last June. At the pro-bono tech nonprofit, Boyce led the organization\u2019s AI portfolio program, helping to launch over a dozen projects across 40 state and local government partnerships to improve language access, make benefits more accessible and accelerate permit processes.<\/p>\n

Before his time at the USDR, Boyce founded and led the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s AI Corps,\u00a0a team of 50 senior experts delivering AI across 22 offices and 10 federal agencies that supported bolstering the AI workforce and\u00a0providing guidance to agency leaders on the tech. Prior to that, Boyce worked in the White House\u2019s Office of Management and Budget, where he helped write policy on the government\u2019s use of generative AI, including President Joe Biden\u2019s 2023 AI Executive Order.<\/p>\n

He takes over the Maryland AI advisor role from Nishant Shah, a former product leader for responsible artificial intelligence at Meta who had been in the role since August 2023 but departed in January.<\/p>\n

Maryland has taken a number of actions under Moore\u2019s leadership to capitalize on AI in government operations. These include…<\/p>\n
