<p> <strong>Key Points of Senate Concurrent Resolution 82:</strong><br> This measure encourages the president of the University of California, the chancellor of the California State University, and the chancellor of the California Community Colleges to establish a workgroup composed of faculty, staff, and administrators. The primary purpose of this workgroup is to review the current use of artificial intelligence within higher education institutions. Additionally, the workgroup is tasked with developing a public report that outlines agreed-upon strategies and best practices for AI usage, which must be completed within one year of the workgroup's formation. Finally, the resulting report is required to be submitted to the legislature and the relevant policy committees that oversee higher education, privacy, and consumer protection matters. </p>
