Governor Shapiro Holds Roundtable Discussion with Attorney General Sunday on Protecting Pennsylvanians Who Use AI and Holding Bad Actors Accountable

Governor Josh Shapiro and Attorney General Dave Sunday held a roundtable discussion with legislators, educators, experts, students, and parents to share recent steps the Commonwealth has taken to protect Pennsylvanians from predatory artificial intelligence (AI) practices while ensuring they have the tools needed to safely and responsibly use the latest technology.

Last month, Governor Shapiro announced three new protective actions, launching an AI Literacy Toolkit; creating an AI Enforcement Task Force for formal complaints with a reporting process for AI-powered bots that may be engaging in unlicensed professional practice; and coordinating closely with the Attorney General's office to strengthen consumer protections related to AI companion bots.

"As artificial intelligence advances, we must recognize that AI brings new risks to Pennsylvanians - and we cannot sit back as bad actors exploit our kids, mislead seniors, or impersonate licensed professionals," said Governor Shapiro. "My Administration is working to address these risks and provide real protections for both our kids and the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians. The Commonwealth should be a leader in holding bad accountable and creating guardrails that allow Pennsylvanians to use new technology responsibly."
