In the Spring 2024 LT&PP course at UMKC, an interdisciplinary student team, guided by Co-Instructor Ayyoub Ajmi and collaborators Ryan Copus and Tony Luppino, explores the integration of Generative AI in local government policies. The project addresses critical questions related to the current legal landscape, deployment strategies, benefits and risks analyses, and the impact of Generative AI on the job market and training for local government personnel. The principal deliverable is a comprehensive Report & Recommendations document to be presented to the CLEI’s partners City of KCMO’s Emerging Technology Board and the GenAI for Local Governments Task Force of MetroLab Network.
