Purpose

To support the Office of Security Management's (OSM) Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) unit in operationalizing the State of Maryland’s responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) use framework, as mandated by the State’s Guiding Principles and the AI Governance Program Charter. The work supports the Program's objective to ensure that all State AI use upholds the principles of Security & Safety, Privacy, Transparency, Equity, and Accountability.

 

Key Responsibilities and Deliverables

  • AI Risk Assessment for Software Acquisition:
    • Objective: Conduct targeted risk assessments for AI use cases associated with new software acquisitions reviewed by the DoIT Software Review Board (SRB).
    • Task: Evaluate software against established AI Assessment Criteria to determine a risk rating (Minimal, Limited, High, or Unacceptable). This includes identifying mandatory safeguards, such as Artificial Intelligence Impact Assessments (AIIA) or Privacy Threshold Analyses (PTA), required for High-Risk AI systems (those significantly likely to affect civil rights, safety, or critical infrastructure).
  • SRB Assessment Automation Tool Development:
    • Objective: Design and develop a functional automation tool to streamline and accelerate the multi-domain risk assessment process within the SRB workflow.
    • Task: The tool must integrate checks across all mandated assessment domains (Security, Privacy, AI, Data Assurance, and Accessibility) to efficiently generate and assign risk ratings and rationales prior to final approval determination.
  • Statewide AI Inventory Process Development:
    • Objective: Develop the formal process and operational mechanisms necessary to generate and maintain the Statewide Artificial Intelligence Inventory, as required by the Maryland AI Governance Act of 2024.
    • Task: Define the workflow for AI Liaisons to conduct mandatory annual AI system inventory audits and submit updates using the mandatory Statewide AI Inventory Template, which includes the standardized risk assessment scoring rubric. The process must ensure the inventory captures all mandated data points for High-Risk AI systems (e.g., system purpose, vendor, capabilities, impact assessment status, and summary results).
