Artificial Intelligence Policy

The Commission recognizes both the potential value and evolving nature of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the workplace and the challenges they present. AI can improve efficiency and productivity, but it also requires careful use. To protect the integrity of administrative records and the Commission’s decision‑making process, the Commission has adopted AI use policies for the public and for Commission employees.

AI Policy for Parties and the Public 

Under Minnesota Rule 7829.0250, a person who signs a filing or appears at a Commission meeting represents that they have a good faith belief that their statements of fact are true and correct and that their legal assertions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for changing the law or rules. 

Consistent with this rule, any person using AI to prepare materials or oral commentary for submission to the Commission must make a good faith effort to ensure that any factual statements are true and any legal assertions are warranted. Unverified reliance on AI-generated content is inconsistent with Commission rule.  

To ensure adherence to the rule and to help maintain the integrity of the record relied on in the Commission’s decision making, any person including AI-generated content in a submission to the Commission should clearly identify such content and disclose the role of AI in its creation.

AI Use Policy for Commissioners and Staff 

The Commission expects Commissioners and employees to use AI tools in accordance with state law and ethics policies. AI may supplement work but may not replace individual judgment or analysis. Staff and Commissioners who use AI follow a strict Policy on Use of Artificial Intelligence, which reflects these expectations. The full policy can be found here
