During my time in the Senate, I have focused on reducing the Federal Government's reliance on aging technology in order to save taxpayer dollars, improve security, and obviously provide better service to the American people.

I am really glad we are having this hearing. I am really grateful to all of you for being here and being a part of it.

I am concerned that Federal efforts to adopt and use AI may not be successful if we continue to rely on legacy IT.

I helped lead a bipartisan effort to codify the General Service Administration's IT Modernization Centers of Excellence, including the Center of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence.

We must take a systematic approach to ensure that the kind of investment and support of the AI systems we want to develop and deploy reflect our values.

I think, the biggest takeaway I hope people watching today or listening to this or reading about it will take is that this is a responsibility that rests with each and every one of us.

I truly appreciate the discussion today. I thank you all for coming before the Subcommittee to discuss what is clearly a really important topic to a lot of us.

How are K-12 schools involved in the process of applying for and awarding this Federal grant in New Hampshire?

Thank you so much. Mr. Rossi.

What .gov does is provides a verifiable identity for entities; whether that is a municipality, whether that is a K-12 district, it does not matter.

If something could be developed maybe at the U.S. Department of Education, I think that that would really help vendors comply with the standards.
