Woodlands County council reviewed a draft AI policy on January 15, 2026, allowing staff to use approved generative AI tools for tasks like drafting and research, while banning unofficial use. The policy, still under review, excludes councillors due to jurisdictional concerns and will go to a committee for further consideration. It aims to balance innovation with responsible AI use in government operations.
