An AI Evaluation Framework

By Jordan Loewen-Colón, Ayodele Odubela, and Jeanette Jordan

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools proliferate across governments and institutions, the United States is experiencing a simultaneous AI public trust crisis. These trends necessitate the Utah Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy (OAIP) to establish transparent processes that encourage public understanding of AI regulatory mitigation. This project recommends that the OAIP adopt a standardized evaluation framework for its partners, then publicize these criteria and a running list of its AI Learning Lab participants. These transparent steps would help Utah build public trust in AI innovation, modeling responsible AI development for other states.

This project was completed as part of the 2024 Science and Technology Policy Fellowship, an Aspen Policy Academy program to teach science and technology experts how to impact policy.
