Everett Herald Editorial: Help the county write rules for AI’s robots
It’s maybe both ironic and fitting that Snohomish County — in seeking guidance on how 21st-century artificial intelligence tools might be used in helping to manage the county — will turn to an ancient process of democratic rule-making: a civic assembly.
Without going to the extremes of Grecian tunics and stone seats in an amphitheater, later this year an assembly of about 40 county residents will gather for a series of meetings to hear from experts, deliberate on the issues and draft recommendations regarding the county’s use of AI for consideration by the Snohomish County Council; a robots’ rules of order, if you will.
