Section 1. Policy Statement
Policy. The City supports and promotes the use of all Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems deployed
or used by the City of Cupertino. The AI systems may be freeware, automatically installed ,
included in software used by the City, or directly purchased and deployed for City use. The
Innovation & Technology (I&T) Department will be the lead in conducting the procurement and
technical review of AI systems. The IT Department will consult with any impacted customer
departments, risk management, purchasing, City Attorney’s Office and the City Manager’s Office
to determine if an AI system should be cautioned against or blocked from use due to risks to the
public, staff or City. This policy applies to all AI users (full-time staff, part-time staff,
casual/temporary staff, interns, consultants, contractors, partners, and volunteers) who may be
purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, supporting, or maintaining the City of Cupertino’s
AI systems or who may be leveraging AI systems in their work or to provide services to the City
of Cupertino. This policy does not apply to elected or appointed officials.
Purpose. The purpose of this policy is to establish a comprehensive governance structure
and user guidelines that allow the City of Cupertino to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems
for the benefit of the community while safeguarding against harms.
The key objectives of the AI Policy are to:
•Provide guidance that is clear, easy to follow, and supports decision -making for the AI
user who may be purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, leveraging, or
maintaining the City’s AI systems to provide services to the City of Cupertino.
•Ensure that when using AI systems, the City or those operating on its behalf, adhere to
the Guiding Principles outlined in Section 2 with regards to how AI Systems are
purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained.
•Define roles, responsibilities, and risk assessment and management processes related
to the City use of AI systems.
•Establish and maintain processes to assess and manage risks presented by AI systems
used by the City.
•Align AI systems governance with existing data governance, security, and privacy
measures.
•Define prohibited uses of AI systems.
•Establish “sunset” procedures to safely retire AI systems that no longer meet the needs
ATTACHMENT A
26
Page 2 of 6
of the City.
•Define how AI systems may be used for legitimate City purposes in accordance with
applicable local, state, and federal laws, and existing City policies.
The City’s AI systems and the data contained therein will be purchased, configured, developed,
operated, and maintained as defined in this policy.
Applicability. As directed by the City Manager, the I&T Department provides management and
oversight for all activities directly related to information technology and information security for
the City. Under this authority, the CTO and his/her designee(s) are responsible for enforcing
information technology related policies and standards. As such, this policy is applicable to all
users.
Definitions.
Algorithm: A series of logical steps through which an agent (typically a computer or software
program) turns particular inputs into particular outputs. AI algorithms learn from training data to
generate models.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): “Artificial intelligence” or “AI” is a machine-based system that can,
for a given set of human -defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions
influencing real or virtual environments1. AI systems use machine- and human-based inputs to
perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis
in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Database: A structured collection of data, essential for machine
learning and intelligent decision -making. It enables efficient handling and processing of large
data volumes, crucial for AI applications. AI uses databases for predictive analytics, natural
language processing, and real-time decision-making.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hallucination : An AI hallucination is a response by an AI that
appears confident and accurate but does not seem to be justified by its training data. It occurs
when an AI model creates something that’s not real and not based on its own data or facts. The
model fills in details that are not accurate. It can result in ridiculous or non-sensical outputs that
are far from reality or do not make sense. AI hallucinations can occur in large language models
(LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT4 or Google PaLM, or in generative AI tools like C hatGPT.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) System: Any data system, software, hardware, application, tool,
sensor, or utility that operates in whole or in part using AI 2 and generates outputs including, but
not limited to, predictions, recommendations, or decisions that augment or replace human
decision-making. This includes generative AI where a system creates content such as text,
audio, or images in response to human or computer inputs . This extends to software, hardware,
algorithms, and data generated by these systems, used to automate large -scale processes or
analyze large data sets.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) User: Full-time staff, part-time staff, casual/temporary staff, interns,
consultants, contractors, partners, and volunteers who may be purchasing, configuring,
developing, operating, supporting, or maintaining the City of Cupertino’s AI systems or who may
be leveraging AI systems to provide services to the City of Cupertino.

2 Definition from United States Executive Order No. 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy
Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence

Page 3 of 6
Automated-Decision Systems3: Automated-Decision Systems (ADS) are systems that use
algorithms, machine learning, or artificial intelligence to make decisions or assist in decision -
making processes without human intervention. These systems analyze data, recognize
patterns, and apply pre-defined rules or learned behaviors to make decisions in various
domains. However, caution should be exercised when using an ADS especially in hiring
decisions. An applicant’s tone of voice, facial expressions or other physical characteristics or
behavior may constitute unlawful disparate treatment of or have an unlawful adverse impact on
individuals based on race, national origin, gender, or several other protected characteristics.
Chatbot: An AI-driven software application that simulates human conversation to provide
automated responses, answer questions, and perform tasks. Chatbots are used for customer
service, information retrieval, and interactive communication on websites and messaging ap ps.
Generative AI: A system that creates content such as text, audio, or images in response to
human or computer inputs. Current examples of Generative AI include ChatGPT, Google
Gemini, Microsoft’s GPT-3, and RoBERTa. Please note: Grammarly is a digital writing assistant
that utilizes artificial intelligence to help users improve their writing. Unlike Generative AI, which
creates new content from scratch, Grammarly focuses on analyzing and enhancing existing
text.
IT Governance: refers to the City’s IT Governance structure that clarifies accountability,
supports strategic alignment, delivers value, manages resources, mitigates risks, and measures
performance. IT Governance involves leadership from the highest levels to ensure compliance
with regulations, internal controls, and the effective use of IT Department resources.
Section 2. Guiding Principles and Responsibilities for Responsible AI Systems
A.These principles describe the City ’s values with regard to how AI systems are
purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained.
(1)Effectiveness: AI systems are reliable, meet their objectives, and deliver precise
and dependable outcomes for the purpose and contexts in which they are
deployed.
(2)Transparency: Where possible, an AI system, its data sources, operational
model, decision-making process, and policies that govern its use are
understandable and documented.
(3)Equity: AI systems support equitable outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI systems
is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone impacted
by its use.
(4)Accountability: Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and
maintenance of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant
laws and regulations.
(5)Human-Centered Design: AI systems are developed and deployed with a
human-centered approach that evaluates AI powered services for their impact on
the public.
(6)Privacy: Privacy is preserved in all AI systems by safeguarding personally
identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data from unauthorized access,

(7)Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability
through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. Implementation of
AI systems is reliable and safe, minimizing risks to individuals, society, and the
environment.
B.Several roles are responsible for enforcing this policy, outlined below.
(1)The Chief Technology Officer (CTO), or designee, is responsible for directing
City technology resources, policies, projects, services, and coordinating the
same with all departments. The CTO, or designee, shall actively ensure AI
systems are used in accordance with all applicable policies.
(2)The IT Infrastructure (Security) Manager, or designee, is responsible for
overseeing the enterprise security infrastructure and cybersecurity operations,
updating security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines, and
monitoring policy compliance. They are also responsible for using the City’s
network and technology hardware in compliance with City policies.
(3)The IT Managers, or designees, are equally responsible for overseeing the
enterprise's digital privacy practices, data processing practices, and
responsible usage of software and applications in compliance with City
policies. They are also responsible for overseeing the privacy practices of AI
systems used by or on behalf all departments.
(4)Department Heads are responsible for ensuring AI systems within their
departments comply with City policies. They must coordinate with the CTO and
IT Managers, oversee AI integration, and report any risks or issues to the City
Manager or CTO.
(5)The CTO is responsible for maintaining this policy
(6)The City Manager, or designee, is responsible for evaluating the usage of AI
systems and directing a department to alter or stop its usage of AI systems or
a partner’s usage of AI systems on behalf of the department when the policy is
violated or an AI system is harmful to AI users, the public, or the City .
Section 3. General Guidelines
Subd. 1. General Guidelines for Purchasing or Installing AI
When purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, installing, or maintaining AI
systems, the City will:
A.Uphold the Guiding Principles for Responsible AI Systems (Section 2).
B.Understand that the procurement process may take longer than normal to allow for
the appropriate risk and technical assessments.
C.Understand that the Guiding Principles and Guidelines for AI systems also apply to
free-to-use, freemium, open source, software -as-a-service (SaaS), and any other
solution formats, whether or not a purchase needs to be made.
D.Conduct an AI Review when purchasing or installing a new AI system to assess the
potential risk of the AI system. The CTO and IT Management Team are responsible
for coordinating review of AI systems used by the City as detailed .
E.Obtain technical documentation about AI systems using the AI FactSheet or create
equivalent documentation if the AI system is internally developed . The IT Department
will coordinate with the Administration Services Department and Purchasing Division
to ensure vendors complete the AI FactSheet when needed.
29
Page 5 of 6
F.Vendors and contractors that supply AI systems are required to comply with the
Standards and Requirements for AI Systems overseen by the I&T Department,
Administration Services Department, and Purchasing Division. Exceptions will be
agreed upon between the I&T Department, Administration Services Department, City
Attorney’s Office and Risk Management.
G.In the event of an incident involving the use of the AI system, the City will follow an
Incident Response Plan. The CTO and IT Infrastructure (Security) Manager, or
designees, along with department AI system owners, are responsible for overseeing
the security practices of AI systems used by or on behalf of City departments.
Subd. 2. Requirements for Using AI
A.All AI tools used for work purposes that require an account will be used explicitly for
City use. Personal accounts are not permitted for work use.
B.Assume that all work products (e.g., transcription notes from a meeting) related to AI
tools and content are subject to relevant Public Records Act requests and should be
handled in accordance with Administrative Policy Chapter 5 Section 8 (California
Public Records Act Request Procedures).
C.Never input confidential or non-public documents or images into an AI system, as
these will become part of the AI database available for public use.
D.AI Users are responsible for all work products produced or generated using AI
systems used for work purposes. The consequences of AI use are the responsibility
of humans and cannot be deferred to the software and/or system. Staff assume all
review of content produced by AI prior to using or publishing the content or images.
Constant verification and maintaining a “zero-trust” approach to ensure content is
accurate and used appropriately (e.g. avoid creating or using deepfake content).
Users need to be aware that AI is not a search engine or a consistently reliable source of
information. It is essential for users to review and validate the content generated by AI to
identify and correct any inaccuracies or nonsensical details, known as AI hallucinations.
Subd. 3. Acceptable Uses of AI
The range of uses of AI are wide, and new capabilities are frequently introduced. This list
provides a set of examples to be used as guidance but is not intended to be a complete list:
A.AI systems and tools that are natively installed as part of a City system upgrade or
release.
B.Creating an outline for written content. While AI can be used as a starting point, the
final product should be edited and modified by the City’s AI Users. Examples include:
emails, letters, documentation, project artifacts, agendas, speaker notes,
presentation outlines or slides, social media posts, procurement documentation
(RFPs, RFIs, etc.), website content, formal reports, informal documents, policies,
procedures, job descriptions, and press releases.
C.Copying a document into an AI system to summarize and/or query it.
D.Suggesting writing improvements (e.g., write your document and have AI provide
suggestions for simpler words or better context).
E.Analyzing different types of data, to include verifying data or content to be valid (e.g.,
detection tools that identify inconsistencies typically associated with deepfakes .)
F.Idea generation.
G.Creating images or graphics
H.Language (foreign or plain English) translation .
30
Page 6 of 6
I.Public Safety technology meta -data detection (e.g., Body-Worn Camera footage,
Drones, ALPRs)
J.Acting as a chatbot for public and staff consumption, such as on the City's website.
K.Creating code or algorithms to be used in system development or design, provided
that the AI-generated code has been reviewed and vetted by staff.
Subd. 4. Prohibited Uses of AI
The use of certain AI systems is prohibited because they process sensitive information and
there is a high risk that they can cause harm. This includes the following prohibited uses:
A.Biometric identification – the live identification of an individual using technologies
including, but not limited to, facial recognition and iris scanning , without that individual’s
knowledge or meaningful consent.
B.Emotion analysis, or the use of computer vision techniques to classify human facial and
body movements into certain emotions or sentiment (e.g., positive, negative, neutral,
happy, angry, nervous).
C.Fully automated decisions that do not require any meaningful human oversight but
substantially impact individuals.
D.Fully automated decisions related to hiring, disciplinary action, or personnel matters.
E.Social scoring, or the use of AI systems to track and classify individuals based on their
behaviors, socioeconomic status, or personal characteristics.
F.Cognitive behavioral manipulation of people or specific vulnerable groups – such as AI-
driven tools or algorithms designed to influence or alter an individual’s decision -making
process or belief system. These systems use psychological, behavioral, or emoti onal data
to create targeted strategies that can manipulate thoughts, feelings, or actions, particularly
focusing on vulnerable groups or individuals.
If staff become aware of an instance where an AI system has caused harm, staff must report
the instance to their supervisor and the IT Department as soon as possible.
Subd. 5. Sunset Procedures
If an AI system operated by the City or on its behalf ceases to provide a positive utility to the
City as determined by the C TO and IT Governance, the use of that AI system must be
halted unless express exception is provided by the City Manager or City Council. If the
abrupt cessation of the use of that AI system would significantly disrupt the delivery of City
services, usage of the AI system shall be gradually phased out over time.
Section 4. Enforcement
A.All AI users are required to follow this policy.
B.Any use of AI that is found to be harmful to AI users, the public, and/or the City will
be altered or stopped.
C.Violations will be investigated by Human Resources. Abuse of this policy may
result in disciplinary action.

Example FactSheetThis is an example of the AI FactSheet above completed by a fictitious company. This is only here for reference and does not need to be included in the completed form.
Vendor Name XYZ Technologies, Inc.
System Name Audio Classifier
Overview This document is a FactSheet accompanying the Audio Classifier model on IBM Developer Model Asset eXchange.
Purpose This model classifies an input audio clip.
Intended Domain This model is intended for use in the audio processing and classification domain.
Training Data The model is trained on the AudioSet dataset by Google. New data is added to the training set daily. The AudioSet database was legally obtained and its use is fully licensed.
Test Data The test set is also part of the AudioSet data. There was a 70:20:10% split of the data into train:val:test. The ratio of samples/class was maintained as much as possible in all the splits. The system has been tested in X,Y,Z conditions.
Model Information The audio classifier is a two-stage model:
• The first model (MAX-Audio-Embedding-Generator) converts each second of input raw audio into vectors or embeddings of size 128 where each element of the vector is a float between 0 and 1.
• Once the vectors are generated, there is a second deep neural network that performs classification.
Update procedure In general, the model is updated annually. If the user does not wish to move to the updated model, the user cannot continue to use the system. Documentation for all new versions of the model can be found on the website at this link.

Inputs and
Outputs
Input: a 10 second clip of audio in signed 16-bit PCM wavfile format. Output: a JSON with the top 5 predicted classes and probabilities.
Performance
Metrics
Metric Value Mean Average Precision 0.357 Area Under the Curve 0.968 d-prime 2.621 The user can regularly monitor these metrics [here].
Bias The majority of audio samples in the training data set represent voice and music content. Potential bias caused by this over-representation has not been evaluated. Careful attention should be paid if this model is to be incorporated in an application where bias in voice type or music genre is potentially sensitive or harmful.
Robustness This audio classifier is not robust to the L-infinity and L2 norms for the HopSkipJump attack.
L2 L-Infinity
5th Percentile 887.0 (200.9) 5.5 (4.9)
10th Percentile 1496.6 (720.6) 7.53 (5.73)
15th Percentile 3723.1 (4707.2) 52.8 (41.8)
25th Percentile 7187.9 (---) 187.6 (198.1)
50th Percentile 11538.6 (---) 502.8 (---) The susceptibility of the model to the two attacks. The parenthetical values in the table above represent the fitted curve evaluated at 11 iterations. (When we are unable to fit a curve, or the result is negative, we denote by ---.) Overwritten decisions are fed back into the system to help calibrate it in the future.
Optimal
Conditions
• When the input audio contains only one or two distinct audio classes.
• When the audio quality is high with lesser noise.
Poor Conditions The system can misclassify audio:
• When the audio contains more than two distinct classes, and
• When the audio quality is low with more noise.
Explanation While the model architecture is well documented, the model is still a deep neural network, which largely remains a black box when it comes to explainability of results and predictions.

The system can be monitored in usage, and
audio classification decisions can be
retroactively overwritten by a human. The
overwritten decisions can help calibrate the
system in the future if desired.
How is bias managed effectively? Users have access to performance metrics that can be used to understand if the bias in voice-type or music style is harmful.
Have the vendors or an independent party
conducted a study on the bias, accuracy, or
disparate impact of the system? If yes, can
the Agency review the study? Include
methodology and results.
Yes. Results from the third-party study can be provided upon request.
How can the Agency and its partners flag
issues related to bias, discrimination or
poor performance of the AI system?
