Section 2054.622 establishes the AI Advisory Council with mandate to (1) study and monitor AI systems developed, employed, or procured by state agencies, (2) review automated decision systems inventory reports submitted by state agencies under Section 2054.623, (3) assess the effect of automated decision systems on the constitutional or legal rights, duties, or privileges of residents and (4) make recommendations on automated decision systems. Section 2054.623 imposes the agency-level inventory obligation: each state agency shall submit an inventory report of all automated decision systems being developed, employed, or procured by the agency, with each entry describing (1) the name and vendor of the system, (2) general capabilities including whether it is used for (B) automated final or automated support decision-making, (3) the decisions the system makes or supports, (4)-(5) types of data collected and processed, (6) whether the system has been independently tested, (7) the purpose and proposed use, (8) data security measures, and (9) related contractual or licensing terms.
