California Admits Using High-Risk AI — Including Systems It Previously Failed to Report
The report lists six systems now in use and six more that were flagged but later ruled not high risk, state officials said.
- California released a report Friday identifying six high-risk automated systems currently used to make consequential decisions affecting Californians, as mandated by a 2023 state law requiring annual disclosure.
- Last year, California officials reported no such systems, a claim CalMatters flagged as surprising; the technology department produced a more expansive survey this year by thoroughly evaluating agency responses.
- These systems include COMPAS, used by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to predict recidivism scores, alongside tools that evaluate unemployment claims and detect AI-generated student assignments.
- Excluded from the disclosure are generative AI pilot projects, including an AI assistant named Poppy and California State University contracts with OpenAI; several questions remain about the state's artificial intelligence use.
- Cities like San Jose and San Francisco released their own AI inventories in recent months, while Courts in Los Angeles and Riverside counties test AI tools for drafting orders and Senate Bill 1248 was killed last month.
