HR1788: HR1788 House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence; create

This resolution sets up the House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence. The Speaker of the House would appoint five House members to serve on it and name one of them chairperson. The committee would study issues such as the risks AI poses to minors seeking advice or emotional support, how state agencies use AI in decisions that affect Georgia residents, standards for transparency and human review of AI-assisted decisions, and how AI could improve government efficiency and support economic development. The committee can hold meetings as needed and its legislative members would receive standard daily allowances under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 28-1-8), paid from House funds, for up to five days unless more are approved. If the committee approves findings or legislative recommendations by majority vote, the chairperson must file a report with the Clerk of the House before the committee is abolished on December 1, 2026.

• Creates the House Study Committee on Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, made up of five House members appointed by the Speaker.
• Directs the committee to study risks AI systems pose to minors and the use of AI by state agencies in decisions affecting residents.
• Directs the committee to examine transparency and human review standards for AI-assisted government decisions and AI's role in economic development.
• Allows legislative members to receive standard daily allowances (O.C.G.A. § 28-1-8) for up to five meeting days, funded through the House's budget.
• Requires the chairperson to file an approved report with the Clerk of the House before the committee ends, or minutes if no report is approved.
• Sets the committee to be abolished on December 1, 2026.

The five House members appointed to the committee, the Speaker of the House who appoints them, and indirectly Georgia residents, minors who use AI-based advice tools, and state agencies that use AI in decision-making, since the committee's findings could shape future legislation affecting them.

The resolution itself does not change any law or regulate AI; it only sets up a group of lawmakers to study the issue and possibly recommend future legislation. Any real-world effects on AI use, minors, or state agencies would depend on what the committee recommends and whether the General Assembly later acts on it.
