HR 1788: House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence; create

This resolution does not change any law directly. Instead, it creates the House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, made up of five House members appointed by the Speaker, who also names the chairperson. The committee is directed to study issues such as AI systems giving advice to minors, state agencies using AI in decisions that affect residents, standards for transparency and human review of AI decisions, and AI's role in economic development and government efficiency. The committee can meet as needed, and legislative members receive standard daily allowances under O.C.G.A. § 28-1-8, capped at five days of pay unless more are authorized, funded through the House's existing budget. If the committee approves findings or recommendations, including possible legislation, the chairperson must file a report with the Clerk of the House. The committee is set to be abolished on December 1, 2026.
