+ # State Attorney General Briefing
2
+ ## AI-Assisted Public Records Research
3
+
4

5
+
6
+ ## Executive Overview
7
+
8
+ Federal FOIA Intelligence Search is a federally focused transparency tool
9
+ designed to assist journalists, researchers, and litigants in navigating
10
+ public FOIA reading rooms.
11
+
12
+ Several states have inquired about its relevance to state-level
13
+ open-records regimes.
14
+
15
+ ---
16
+
17
+ ## Key Characteristics
18
+
19
+ - Read-only, link-out architecture
20
+ - No scraping or mirroring
21
+ - AI features disabled by default
22
+ - No personal data processing
23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## State Law Compatibility
27
+
28
+ The platform is compatible with state public-records laws where:
29
+
30
+ ✔ Records are publicly posted
31
+ ✔ No authentication is required
32
+ ✔ No fee-based access is bypassed
33
+
34
+ ---
35
+
36
+ ## Consumer Protection Considerations
37
+
38
+ Risk to consumers is minimal due to:
39
+
40
+ - No user accounts
41
+ - No monetization
42
+ - No profiling
43
+ - Clear disclaimers
44
+
45
+ ---
46
+
47
+ ## Enforcement Perspective
48
+
49
+ The tool does **not**:
50
+ - Impersonate government entities
51
+ - Represent itself as authoritative
52
+ - Create or modify public records
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## Recommended AG Posture
57
+
58
+ State AG offices should view the platform as:
59
+
60
+ > A **research accelerator**, not a records custodian.
61
+
62
+ No enforcement action is warranted absent misrepresentation or misuse.
63
+
64
+ ---
65
+
66
+ ## Optional State Engagement
67
+
68
+ States wishing to participate may:
69
+ - Publish clearer reading room indexes
70
+ - Standardize URLs
71
+ - Improve public search interfaces
72
+
73
+ ---
74
+
75
+ ## Conclusion
76
+
77
+ This platform aligns with the spirit and letter of state transparency laws
78
+ while preserving public trust and agency autonomy.
