A RESOLUTION

Creating the House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, artificial intelligence systems are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly integrated into everyday services used by Georgia residents. Such systems have the potential to drive innovation, support economic development, and improve productivity across many sectors of Georgia's economy; and

WHEREAS, artificial intelligence systems are increasingly used in applications providing advice or guidance to users, including minors seeking information, emotional support, or assistance; and

WHEREAS, artificial intelligence systems also offer opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of state government operations when implemented responsibly; and

WHEREAS, concerns remain that certain artificial intelligence systems may provide harmful, misleading, or inappropriate advice to vulnerable individuals, including minors. Such systems may also be used by government agencies or departments to assist in decision-making processes that affect residents, raising important questions regarding transparency, accountability, and the role of human judgment; and

WHEREAS, thoughtful public policy can help ensure that artificial intelligence systems are used responsibly while preserving innovation and economic opportunity.
