Englewood, Ohio has adopted a municipal generative AI usage policy that designates Microsoft Copilot as the only approved AI assistant for city business. The policy prohibits feeding confidential or personally identifiable information into AI systems and treats AI outputs as potentially subject to public records retention. This security-first template is being studied by other Ohio towns as state law encourages schools and districts to adopt their own AI rules. The policy reflects a practical approach to balancing AI adoption with privacy and transparency requirements in local government.
