A new artificial intelligence framework aims to guide the work of Utah’s new Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy (OAIP) by offering guidance to support the standardization of the office’s evaluation processes.

Implementing an AI Evaluation Framework in Utah,” from the Aspen Institute’s Policy Academy, offers recommendations for a standardized evaluation framework for OAIP’s partners. The Academy has drafted a document that aligns with OAIP’s focus areas: the “Prosperity, Integrity and Innovation, Openness, Natural Resource Stewardship, and Respect for Culture and Values (PIONR) Framework.”

OAIP was established in July to shape AI policy in the state. The new office builds on previous AI work in Utah, including the 2018 establishment of a Center of Excellence in AI and the 2023 generative AI policy.
