House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) have announced a hearing titled “Powering AI: Examining America’s Energy and Technology Future.”
“America’s innovators are on the cutting edge of developing and deploying new technologies that could radically shape the future for decades to come. Few technologies have been more disruptive in recent years than Artificial Intelligence,” said Chairs Rodgers and Duncan. “These tools are powered by data. As more of them come online, the data centers used to store and process that information, along with the increase in American manufacturing necessary to build these technologies here at home, will require significantly more energy resources. We look forward to hearing from experts and stakeholders on how the U.S. can meet these growing energy demands while continuing to maintain an affordable, reliable electric grid for Americans.”
The Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, & Grid Security hearing titled “Powering AI: Examining America’s Energy and Technology Future” will address meeting the energy demands of emerging technologies and ensuring American technological leadership.
