On September 18, 2026, 40 Utahns participated in the Utah Solutions Forum to refine AI policies. The group established 10 distinct recommendations focused on education and government oversight.
Why it matters
The forum aimed to bridge the gap between policymakers and residents on a topic that affects the public but lacks partisan division. Organizers hope to influence state-level governance by presenting these suggestions directly to elected officials.
The assembly produced 10 specific policy solutions regarding AI education and oversight after two days of work. A total of 95% of the 40 attendees supported creating an information hub for tracking AI policies and project details.
