Focus on Transparency and Ethical Use
County Manager Romilda Crocamo will open the session by emphasizing the county’s commitment to ethical considerations, data privacy, and security as AI technologies are introduced.

The session will cover the basics of AI, including its capabilities and limitations. Attendees will learn about the structure of the pilot program and the built-in guardrails designed to ensure responsible use. Chief AI Officer and First Assistant Solicitor Vito DeLuca, who is leading the county’s AI adoption efforts, will explain the approach in detail.
