First Selectman Fred Camillo is pleased to announce the official formation and membership of the Town of Greenwich AI Task Force, a new advisory group bringing together Greenwich residents with expertise in artificial intelligence, technology, risk management and innovation to help ensure Greenwich leads thoughtfully in the responsible use of emerging technologies.
The Task Force has been established with two primary objectives:
- To develop a framework and policy for the Town’s use of artificial intelligence, including appropriate safeguards and use guidelines.
- To identify practical applications that can improve municipal operations, enhance resident services, reduce administrative burdens, and help employees spend more time focused on direct service to the public.
Consistent with Greenwich’s tradition of sound governance and innovation, the Task Force will evaluate how artificial intelligence can help the Town deliver services more effectively, create long-term efficiencies for taxpayers and support workforce planning and changing operational needs — while keeping people, accountability, and public trust at the center of every recommendation.
The goal is not technology for technology’s sake, but technology in service to residents.
“Greenwich has an opportunity to lead — not simply by adopting new technology, but by shaping how it can be used responsibly in local government,” First Selectman Camillo said in the announcement. “This Task Force will help us establish thoughtful guardrails while identifying practical ways to improve services, support our workforce, and position Greenwich to set the standard in Connecticut.”
The Members of the Greenwich AI Task Force include Selectwoman Lauren Rabin, Jay Bellissimo, Kathy Smith, Pat Fuscaldo, Roy Weissman, Sloane Taliaferro, Toufic Wakin.
“This is about using technology to make government work better for people,” Selectwoman Rabin said. “If applied responsibly, AI can help reduce repetitive administrative work, improve service delivery, and help us manage future staffing needs and smarter processes, while allowing employees to focus more of their time on the work residents value most.”
In addition to these members, there will be liaisons from key Town boards, departments and committees. The Board of Estimate and Taxation has announced it will have two liaisons, Matt Des Champs and Sally Bednar.
Additionally, the Task Force will be supported by liaisons from the Board of Education, Department of Public Works, Finance Department, Information Technology, Parks & Recreation, Registrar of Voters, Risk Management and the Selectmen’s Committee for People With Developmental Disabilities.
