WASHINGTON, April 3, 2025 — The House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a full committee hearing next week to examine the future of artificial intelligence and its implications for American innovation, infrastructure, and global competitiveness.

Chairman Rep. **Brett Guthrie**, R-Ky., announced the hearing, titled “Converting Energy into Intelligence: the Future of AI Technology, Human Discovery, and American Global Competitiveness,” and is set for Wednesday, April 9, at 10:00 a.m. in the Rayburn House Office Building.

Guthrie emphasized the importance of investing in the physical infrastructure required to support the rapid expansion of AI, including increased electricity generation, next-generation semiconductors, and advanced communications networks. 

“AI gives us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the world in innovation and growth,” said Guthrie [in a statement](https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairman-guthrie-announces-full-committee-hearing-on-ai-and-american-global-competitiveness?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com). “To realize this potential, the U.S. must build the right foundation—from power and chips to computing capacity—while also ensuring consumer protections remain strong.”
