Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends Evan Marie Carr, co-founder of an artificial intelligence education company, ahead of a Women's History Month technology event at the state capitol. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Evan Marie Carr, a co-founder of the AI company DarkViolet.ai, for her work developing an educational technology platform called Learn with Lumi. The resolution notes she will be recognized around the second annual Tech Demo Day at the state capitol on March 13, 2025, hosted by Representative Dar'shun Kendrick, an event themed 'Women In Artificial Intelligence' for Women's History Month. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Carr as a keepsake of the honor. ### What it does - Formally commends Evan Marie Carr for her career accomplishments in AI-driven education technology. - States the reasons for the honor, including her co-founding DarkViolet.ai and developing the Learn with Lumi platform. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Carr. - Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute, since it is a commendation resolution rather than substantive legislation. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names and honors Evan Marie Carr. It also references Representative Dar'shun Kendrick, who hosts the related Tech Demo Day event, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is tasked with preparing the commemorative copy. ### Why it matters The resolution has no legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a symbolic honor. Its practical significance is limited to publicly recognizing Carr's work in AI education technology and marking a state capitol event highlighting women in artificial intelligence. ### Key provisions - Whereas clauses describe the upcoming Tech Demo Day event on March 13, 2025, and its Women's History Month theme. - Whereas clauses detail Carr's role as co-founder of DarkViolet.ai and developer of the Learn with Lumi platform. - The resolved clause formally commends Carr on behalf of House members. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to provide a copy of the resolution to Carr. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-02-18) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2025-02-18) - Sponsors: Dar'shun Kendrick - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/70469 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr299.md?full=1
