The call is coming from inside the house. Safety researchers are resigning, powerful AI models are breaking out of their labs, and companies are racing ahead anyway.

Our bill fixes that. It puts real federal money on the table the moment an emergency like this hits, so no community has to face it alone.

Haverhill showed us what happens when a century-old system fails and the federal government is nowhere to be found. Cities were left to fight sewage flowing into the Merrimack with local dollars and borrowed time.

The threats AI poses to our national security, our safety, and our workforce are here and growing by the day. This bipartisan framework is designed to meet the challenges posed by this rapidly advancing technology without smothering…

People are going to die. These hospitals are going to close. Labor and delivery units are going to disappear.

It is a very spirited debate on the other side, but this is on the amendment. This amendment would just make sure that the underlying bill actually does what it is intended to do, which is save lives simply by ensuring that the Secretary…

May I inquire as to the time remaining. THE SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Massachusetts has 3 minutes remaining.

This reauthorization of NTIA is bipartisan legislation that ensures that NTIA will have the authority it needs to continue both connecting Americans to high-speed, reliable, and affordable broadband and overseeing innovative technological…

NHTSA must regularly review and update the list of companies subject to the SGO. The agency must ensure compliance with the SGO by all subjected companies.

I share the ranking member's concern that we need to fully understand how this technology can be used for the wrong reasons.

We must also acknowledge its shortcomings so we can ensure it is applied correctly and safely.

I am glad that the committee is bringing awareness to the potential that blockchain technologies have to offer and the promising applications of Web 3.

As our committee discusses the failures that exist in other laws, we always need to be on the lookout to strengthen the legislation that we work on and pass today.

I don't think superintendents or principals should be responsible for negotiating our kids' data rights with multibillion-dollar companies.

Simply put, any legislative proposal must strengthen civil rights protections by prohibiting discrimination using personal information.

I also think it is important that any Federal privacy law we consider must strive to end data-driven discrimination.

I am deeply concerned about what the emergence and embrace of education technology means for privacy and data of our children.

Today's meeting is just another example of the bipartisan consensus on this committee that the current laws governing the internet fail to protect users and our most sensitive information.

I do want to make sure we are keeping in mind any unintended consequences that may limit access to care because of the discussion drafts in the hearings today.

So I fully believe this committee has the responsibility to legislate in a way that allows our hospitals to deliver care while also lowering costs for American patients.

Thank you. And that is exactly why we need to be so careful when we are crafting these laws and why we have to ensure that ADPPA is as strong as it was in the last Congress, if not stronger.

I mean, if Congress passed such language, how would a data broker take advantage of that situation?

Systemic risks are things we can all agree on: illegal activity and content online, digital discrimination, and risks to our democracy.

That's the level of attention that our parents and our students, frankly, deserve.
