Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2575, the AI in Government Act. Artificial intelligence, or AI, has the potential to improve our Federal workforce's productivity and to solve complex government challenges. By responsibly increasing the utilization of AI in the Federal Government, we can streamline burdensome administrative tasks and better allocate finite resources. AI can potentially save the Federal Government billions of dollars and countless man-hours. Artificial intelligence tools can also free Federal workers from mundane tasks, giving them time for more challenging work. In fact, a Deloitte report from 2017 estimated that the Federal Government could potentially save 1.2 billion employee labor-hours by automating certain tasks. That could potentially save the Federal Government up to $41 billion, annually. AI can also improve Federal policy decisions by presenting new insights and improving the quality of information available to decisionmakers. AI represents a force multiplier benefiting the American people in an era of soaring Federal deficits and increasing complexity of various Federal agency missions and programs. The taxpayers should especially benefit from a smarter, more effective government. The good news is that the government agencies are well on their way to realizing the benefits of artificial intelligence technology solutions.…”
