Lyndeborough approves new AI policy for town employees and officials
Lyndeborough, a small New Hampshire town, has adopted a formal policy governing how municipal employees and officials may use artificial intelligence tools in their work.
Why this matters: Small towns are starting to write the rules for AI in local government, and that matters more than it sounds. These policies decide what data town workers can feed into AI tools, who is accountable when something goes wrong, and whether residents have any visibility into how decisions get made. A town the size of Lyndeborough setting a formal policy is a sign this is no longer just a big-city issue. The details of what the policy actually permits or restricts are what count.
