Councilmember Whyte submits Council Consideration Request on Artificial Intelligence Integration Strategy
SAN ANTONIO (May 30, 2025) - This week, Councilmember Marc Whyte submitted a Council Consideration Request proposing the development of a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration Strategy for the City of San Antonio.
Recognizing the transformative potential of AI in enhancing public services, operational efficiency, and transparent governance, Whyte wants to ensure that the City is taking the steps necessary to implement AI in an effective and responsible manner. The proposal calls for the City Manager to evaluate and provide recommendations on the creation of a municipal AI plan. The plan would explore how other cities and agencies have successfully implemented AI and would identify best practices mitigating security and privacy risks for responsible integration in San Antonio.
“This is about positioning San Antonio for the future,” said Councilmember Whyte. “A thoughtful, citywide AI strategy will help us improve service delivery, streamline operations, and maintain transparency as we adopt new technologies.”
The proposed initiative would include a structural review of other cities’ AI programs, potential designation of a City official to oversee AI use, integration recommendations, and a proposed implementation timeline. If approved, the strategy could lead to significant improvements in public safety, resource management, and resident services across the city.
