A top House Republican lawmaker is eyeing the opportunities and risks of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology into the day-to-day operations of the U.S. Congress.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think of this as a tool in a toolkit that\u2019s made Congress more efficient and more responsive. And with any new technology, there are great benefits and there are risks. And we\u2019re managing between both of those,\u2019 House Committee on Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our hearing is going to give us that opportunity to both demonstrate that in a transparent way to the American public, but also to gain insights and information about how not only Congress, but all legislative branch entities such as the Library of Congress or [Government Accountability Office] can be utilizing AI to do the same,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The hearing next week is called \u2018Artificial Intelligence (AI): Innovations within the Legislative Branch.\u2019 In addition to how it affects Congress, the hearing will also look into how AI is being used at the Library of Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO).<\/p>\n

Steil\u2019s committee has been releasing a series of monthly reports, led by Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., and her subcommittee on modernization, going back to September on AI integration strategy.<\/p>\n

Their most recent report from December listed current cases in which the House of Representatives uses AI, which includes \u2018AI-assisted chatbots and other AI automations or support for Helpdesk,\u2019 as well as using AI to help draft constituent correspondence, emails, memos and briefing notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AI is also used for internal research by House staffers and to make grammatical corrections in first drafts of bills and speeches, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Steil told Fox News Digital he also sees opportunities in using AI to streamline the GAO\u2019s auditing process and further help lawmakers be more effective in constituent services.<\/p>\n

\u2018AI has significant opportunities on our ability to audit the spending of taxpayer dollars and the efficiency in that,\u2019 he said. \u2018You\u2019ll see it in other areas as well, right? I mean, you\u2019ll see it in what might be more mundane but very [Capitol Hill] focused about how all members can respond to their constituents, and the sifting of constituent requests.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It can be important as an individual who\u2019s trying to navigate through a federal agency in short order.\u2019<\/p>\n

Steil said the \u2018broader goal\u2019 of the hearing, however, is \u2018how do you work to make your government, and in particular Congress, more efficient leveraging this technology?\u2019<\/p>\n

The hearing on AI by the House Administration Committee is set to take place Tuesday at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
