A new report delivered to the Pennsylvania legislature lays out a roadmap for regulating and adopting AI in the Commonwealth. Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, served on the Advisory Committee that helped inform the report’s recommendations.
Coglianese, founder and director of the Penn Program on Regulation, was among 20 advisors from academia, industry, and government appointed to the Advisory Committee in response to House Resolution 170 of 2023. The committee spent more than a year studying AI’s current and potential future impact on Pennsylvania and examined how other states are responding to the technology.
“It was a privilege to serve on the statewide advisory committee for this project,” says Coglianese. “Few policy issues today are as challenging and important as those related to AI governance.”
