House Communications Plans June 4 Hearing on AI, Communications Infrastructure

The House Communications Subcommittee plans a hearing June 4 on how U.S. communications networks can support AI applications, the Commerce Committee said Wednesday night. AI “is launching our economy into a new American golden age marked by development and opportunity, but these increasingly dynamic industries need certainty that our networks can support the future of artificial intelligence and its applications,” said House Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and Communications Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C. “Fast, reliable networks are crucial for enabling innovation and enhancing America’s technological advantage. We look forward to discussing with our witnesses about how Congress can support this important goal.” The hearing will begin at 10:30 a.m. in 2123 Rayburn.
