As used in KRS 42.720 to 42.742:
(1)"Artificial intelligence" means the use of machine learning and related technologies
that uses data to train statistical models for the purpose of enabling computer
systems to perform tasks normally associated with human intelligence or
perception;
(2)"Artificial intelligence system":
(a)Means any machine-based computing system that, for any explicit or implicit
objective, infers from the inputs such system receives how to generate
outputs, including but not limited to content, decisions, predictions, or
recommendations, that can influence physical or virtual environments; and
(b)Does not include an artificial intelligence system that is used for development,
prototyping, and research activities before such artificial intelligence system;
(3)"Communications" or "telecommunications" means any transmission, emission, or
reception of signs, signals, writings, images, and sounds of intelligence of any
nature by wire, radio, optical, or other electromagnetic systems, and includes all
facilities and equipment performing these functions;
(4)"Consequential decision" means any decision that has a material legal or similarly
significant effect on the provision or denial of services, cost, or terms to any citizen
or business;
(5)"Deployer" means any state department, state agency, or state administrative body
in the Commonwealth that puts into use a high-risk artificial intelligence system;
(6)"Developer" means any department, agency, or administrative body that develops
or intentionally and substantially modifies a high-risk artificial intelligence system
that is offered, purchased, sold, leased, given, or otherwise provided to citizens and
businesses in the Commonwealth;
(7)"Foundation model" means a machine learning model that is trained on broad data
at scale, designed for generality of output, and can be adapted to a wide range of
distinctive tasks;
(8)"General-purpose artificial intelligence model":
(a)Means a model used by any form of artificial intelligence system that displays
significant generality, is capable of performing a wide range of distinct tasks,
and can be integrated into a variety of subsequent applications or systems; and
(b)Does not include any artificial intelligence model that is used for
development, prototyping, and research activities before such artificial
intelligence model is released on the market;
(9)"Generative artificial intelligence" means an artificial intelligence system that is
capable of producing and used to produce synthetic content, including audio,
images, text, and videos;
(10)"Generative artificial intelligence system" means any artificial intelligence system
or service that incorporates generative artificial intelligence;
(11)"Geographic information system" or "GIS" means a computerized database
management system for the capture, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of
spatial or locationally defined data;
(12)"High-risk artificial intelligence system":
(a)Means any artificial intelligence system that is a substantial factor in the
decision-making process or specifically intended to autonomously make, or be
a substantial factor in making, a consequential decision; and
(b)Does not include a system or service intended to perform a narrow procedural
task, improve the result of a completed human activity, or detect decision-
making patterns or deviations from previous decision-making patterns and is
not meant to replace or influence human assessment without human review, or
perform a preparatory task in an assessment relevant to a consequential
decision;
(13)"Information resources" means the procedures, equipment, and software that are
designed, built, operated, and maintained to collect, record, process, store, retrieve,
display, and transmit information, and associated personnel;
(14)"Information technology" means data processing and telecommunications
hardware, software, services, supplies, facilities, maintenance, and training that are
used to support information processing and telecommunications systems to include
geographic information systems;
(15)"Machine learning" means the development of algorithms to build data-derived
statistical models that are capable of drawing inferences from previously unseen
data without explicit human instruction;
(16)"Personal information" has the same meaning as in KRS 61.931;
(17)"Project" means a program to provide information technologies support to functions
within an executive branch state agency, which should be characterized by well-
defined parameters, specific objectives, common benefits, planned activities,
expected outcomes and completion dates, and an established budget with a
specified source of funding;
(18)"Security breach" has the same meaning as in KRS 61.931; and
(19)"Technology infrastructure" means any computing equipment, servers, networks,
storage, desktop support, telephony, enterprise shared systems, information
technology security, disaster recovery, business continuity, database administration,
and software licensing.
