Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Safety, Senator John Albers (R – Roswell and parts of Woodstock), and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Senator Chuck Payne (R – Dalton) recently announced plans to host a joint committee meeting concerning the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This meeting will take place on November 1, 2023, at the State Capitol.

“Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly, and it is important for us to analyze current and future AI practices. We must look at the pros, cons, and potential unintended consequences of AI, and I look forward to the work of this Senate joint committee,” said Lt. Governor Burt Jones.

"AI may be one of the greatest disruptors in history, providing significant advancements and monumental risks,” said Sen. Albers. “We must address this head-on to protect our citizens, businesses, and state."

“I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with Chairman Albers and the Public Safety Committee to best address real concerns related to advances in artificial intelligence and to mitigate any risks facing the citizens of our state,” said Sen. Payne.

This joint committee will bring industry experts to the table with the goal of analyzing current and projected future AI practices. The committee aims to pave a path forward, as the sector continues to grow across a multitude of platforms both in Georgia and the nation.
