  • Rep. Fiona McFarland wants proper funding around child protection and an easier ability to identify artificial intelligence-created content. As she starts a third term in the House, the Sarasota Republican will tackle those topics and improvements to transportation policy.

Fiona McFarland, a Republican Representative from Sarasota, has introduced a bill (HB 1331) aimed at enhancing transparency and reducing political influence in Florida's child welfare system. The legislation seeks to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of child welfare services. Key points of the bill include the establishment of a task force to oversee AI implementation, ensuring that AI tools are used to analyze data for better decision-making in child placements and services, and mandating transparency in how AI decisions are made. McFarland emphasizes the need for a system where decisions are based on data rather than political agendas, aiming to protect children and support families more effectively. The bill also proposes measures to ensure that AI systems are free from bias and that there is public accountability in the use of these technologies.
