The Utah Solutions Forum’s work on public participation in AI governance has received coverage in The Salt Lake Tribune and The Guardian, bringing wider attention to the initiative supported by AEGIX.
Held on September 18-19, 2026, the forum brought residents together to discuss how communities can help shape decisions about AI. AEGIX contributed through Director Dr. Medlir Mema’s participation and the preparation of the Citizen Briefing Book: Artificial Intelligence & Public Accountability.
The discussions in Utah are now reaching a wider audience. Reporting in The Salt Lake Tribune follows residents as they turn their experiences and concerns about AI into concrete proposals, while The Guardian reflects on what Utah’s approach could mean for democratic oversight of the technology. These questions also connect with a recent Lawfare interview with Audrey Tang on giving citizens a meaningful role in AI governance.
