Welcome back to our occasional series \u201cOff the Record,\u201d a curated collection of articles we found interesting on a broad range of topics, some which are directly related to records management and others which might share common themes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, we didn\u2019t write these articles\u2014hence the name of this series, \u201cOff the Record\u201d\u2014 but, fortunately, we didn\u2019t need to in order to share the knowledge with our subscribers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As summer heats up, we are bringing you some articles about another hot topic: artificial intelligence (AI). Below is a smattering of articles about the intersection of AI and government records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidelines for Secure AI System Development<\/a> – UK National Cyber Security Centre and US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Developed in collaboration with 21 agencies and ministries throughout the world, these guidelines released by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) provide a framework for implementing the use of AI in an organization. The advice is broken down into four fundamental areas that address the considerations that should be made in each stage of the AI system development life cycle: secure design, secure development, secure deployment, and secure operation and maintenance. The goal of the guidelines is to identify considerations and mitigations that can be made to reduce the overall cybersecurity risks an organization has in conjunction with the use of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-Generated Candidate Files to Run for Office in Wyoming<\/a> – Government Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While local governments and state agencies begin dipping their toes into the AI pool, some individuals are filing their AI to run for office. Reading this article makes one wonder how the candidate would submit compliance documents, or if elected, would it be able to manage records. Fortunately, there is a human behind the scenes managing and supplying the AI with information, but they are allowing it to make choices. As we figure ways to coexist with AI, the “meat avatar” offers a new perspective of human interaction and the emerging technology <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI and the environment: Chatbot ChatGPT consumes more energy than a traditional Internet Search<\/a> – euronews.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Although the records, information, and data industry and the planet\u2019s environmental conditions sound non-related, they are definitely intertwined! How we implement records, information, and data programs, and the related tools we choose, can have lasting effects. This is why we need to consider environmental conditions before implementation. This article provides insight to how ChatGPT<\/a> and Bard<\/a> consume energy versus an everyday internet search. The article does a great job at describing the impact the tools have, but also how the tools can be used to mitigate more damage to our planet. That concept seems to be the recommended ideology for AI in general: determine the problem the AI tool can solve, consider the impact, analyze the need versus the cons, and then decide if the product is the right solution for the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
