03 Testimonials

While Georgia now has an AI policy in effect, the massive boom of generative AI has brought with it specific challenges. This Spring, Paragon fellows worked with the GTA to recommend enforcement and education mechanisms to address generative AI's potential effect on government operations at the state level. The work produced by Paragon will help inform a GenAI policy that contains guidelines for the use of generative AI by all 40,000 state employees.
