The U.S. needs to be a leading voice in establishing AI policy and be a strong leader worldwide on this issue.

The Federal Government moves like just the slowest dinosaur.

the executive branch cannot achieve this goal fully without Congress.

I think we have to be very careful and thoughtful so that we do not stifle innovation because we want the United States to lead around the world.

The biggest risk concerning government use of AI is that it will not happen fast enough, like everything.

The Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation will now come to order, and we welcome you here this afternoon.

Chairwoman Mace, for instance, has called for exactly this kind of information.

You know, we all have a lot of enormous concerns about the advances in AI because it has just gone by so quickly.

Women face serious injuries from contact sports with physically biological--or larger biological males.

Women face emotional trauma of exposure to biological males in spaces that should be safe and private for women.

We can use terms like ``cis'' or ``trans'' all we want, but men and women are different, and the American public knows it, which is why 70 percent of the American populous wants sports separated by sex.

The Biden Administration's rule would eliminate women's sports as we know it.

The Administration's proposed Title IX rule will rewind decades of progress in women's rights.

In a world where biological males compete in women's sports, women lose access to roster spots.

Women have rights too. And our daughters have rights too. Let me be explicitly clear on that.

if our Federal agencies are unwilling to make those changes because they are kings around their own kingdoms, not willing to move forward, it will never happen.

My biggest fear is it is going to require a huge loss of life such as a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure in the Northeast during a cold spell, where we are unable to heat our homes for millions of Americans.

But I cannot understand why we buy Chinese tech products for government agencies. It is mind-boggling to me.

Congress just wants to do what we always have done and that is outdated, and that hurts us, correct?

Government purchasers need to take more risks and being willing to buy from small American startup companies.

I see a huge gap in law and even law enforcement practice.

We need comprehensive laws to address these things.

It is alarming to me how easy it has become to create and distribute realistic pornographic images of actual women and girls.

Thank you. I now recognize Mr. Doermann to please begin his opening statement.

Thank you, Mr. Connolly. Today, I am pleased to introduce our witnesses for today's hearing.
