House E&C Convenes Hearing on the Future of AI Technology
Summary
On April 9, 2025, the House Energy and Commerce (E&C) Committee held a Full Committee hearing titled “Converting Energy into Intelligence: the Future of AI Technology, Human Discovery, and American Global Competitiveness,” featuring testimony from Eric Schmidt of the Special Competitive Studies Project, Manish Bhatia of Micron Technology, Alexandr Wang of Scale AI, and Former United States Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk. During the hearing, Wang urged lawmakers to establish a national AI data reserve which includes all relevant government data “to serve as a centralized data hub for all of the government's AI programs to leverage,” further stating, “This would allow for the data to be easily shared between agencies and be leveraged for widespread AI adoption. The Department of Defense is currently working towards its own version of this, but if the United States wants to lead, this must be government-wide.”
