Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) announced the formation of an artificial intelligence task force on Wednesday as Virginia aims to stay ahead of the developing field of AI. 

The new task force consists of 10 experts who will aid state lawmakers on AI, while also assisting state agencies on how they can use AI to improve their operations, according to a statement from the Governor’s office. Youngkin explained he had signed an executive order in January to address the constantly changing field of AI, and that this task force is part of the state’s plan.
