“Using artificial intelligence and anything we can do to efficiently and effectively make sure that we can assist the VA in processing claims is a good thing. We are likely at the nascent stage of being able to use that kind of technology.

Having your advocacy on the floor today is helpful in spotlighting the issue and making sure that we can advance at a more rapid rate. Mr. Chair, I yield back to the gentleman.”
