• Help maintain an inventory of AI and automated decision-making systems that process personal information, and complete intake and initial privacy review for new and existing AI use cases

• Track emerging AI-privacy requirements (e.g., automated decision-making and profiling rules under CCPA/CPRA and the Colorado AI Act) and escalate potential impacts to the Privacy Program Manager and Legal
