 An act relating to artificial intelligence. An act to add Section 89500.3 to the Education Code, relating to public postsecondary education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 928, as amended, Cervantes.
 Artificial intelligence: California State University. University: faculty employees.

Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law requires the trustees to provide by rule for the government of their appointees and employees, including, among other things, rules related to appointment, classification, and duties. Existing law requires certain community college employees to be a person who meets specified minimum qualifications, as provided.

This bill would explicitly require the instructor of record for a course of instruction to be a person who meets the rule provided by
 the trustees to serve as a faculty employee, as described, teaching credit instruction or noncredit instruction. The bill would also explicitly require a California State University faculty employee to be a person who meets the rule provided by the trustees to serve in that position.

Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University.

Existing law establishes within the
 Government Operations Agency the Department of Technology. Existing law requires the Department of Technology to conduct, in coordination with other interagency bodies as it deems appropriate, a comprehensive inventory of all high-risk automated decision systems that have been proposed for use, development, or procurement by, or are being used, developed, or procured by, any state agency, including the California State University. For purposes of these provisions, existing law defines various terms, including “automated decision system” and “artificial intelligence.” Existing law requires the department to submit an annual report of the comprehensive inventory to the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection and the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization, until January 1, 2029.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to protect California State University employees from the encroachment of artificial intelligence.
